THE CEMETERY OF SPRING GROVE. 



Historical Sketch.. 



The Charter of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society authorized the 
establishment of a public Cemetery by that Association : but before 
any very important measures had been adopted for that purpose it was 
perceived that, with Societies, as with individuals, the best results will 
always be effected by directing attention to a single object. A divi- 
sion of the necessary exertions to different objects by any Association, 
will generally result in such a division of the feelings, opinions, and 
wishes of the different members as to give a suitable opportunity to 
the genius of failure for the practical operation of the maxim " divide 
and conquer.' ' 

Even in cases like this, in which the aid of each to the other might 
appear to be adapted to increasing their mutual prosperity, it was per- 
ceived that elements of discord were slumbering, which might easily 
be awakened so as to retard the prosperity of the institution. 

Some of the members of the Society being sagacious enough to 
perceive the dangers that threatened their original plan, determined to 
organize a new Association which should have but one object, viz : 
that of establishing and conducting a public, rural Cemetery, upon 
such principles and under such a system of management as would best 
accord with the feelings and wishes of the community. These had 
been excited by the examples of "Mount Auburn, " in Boston, of 
" Greenwood," in New York, and of " Laurel Hill," in Philadelphia, 
as those had been by " Pere la Chaise," in Paris. The design of 
these rural Cemeteries was to remove from the last resting places of 
the friends loved and lost that gloom and dread with which a future state 
was regarded by the ancient Pagans — which made them look forward 
to the happiest state hereafter as one far inferior to the lowest condi- 



lion here on earth, * — or the hopeless apathy of atheism which looks 
for nothing in the death of the body better than the annihilation of the 
soul. It was to convert not only our souls to a brighter — holier belief, 
but to give our bodies a holier resting place, where brighter aspects 
are presented to the survivors. It was to symbolize our belief in a 
renewed and happier life hereafter through the conquest of death by 
Christ. In the resurrection of the flowers — in their return to life after 
their death in winter, symbols of the immortality of the soul were per- 
ceived — symbols which seemed to proclaim that the universal wish of 
mankind for a future and happier state of existence had expanded into 
hope under the teachings of Christianity. And in those beautiful 
children of song, the birds, that with their joyous notes seem to hail 
the opening buds and flowers of Spring, fancy saw symbolized Heav- 
enly angels hailing in their songs of praise the coming of the re- 
deemed. 

The melancholy receptacles of the dead in caves and pyramids — in 
mausoleums and cinerary urns, could not "gild the gloom" of the 
grave to the heathen, who through fear of death were all their life -time 
subject to bondage. But to Christians, enjoying the glorious liberty 
of the sons of God, this bondage was replaced by faith and hope, 
symbols of which, instead of those of despondency and grief, were 
more appropriate to the last resting place of those friends from whom 
they considered themselves separated but for a season* 

With these, and other views and opinions inciting them to desire 
the establishment of a rural \ Cemetery in the neighborhood of Cincin- 
nati, a number of gentlemen met at the house of Robert Buchanan, on 
the 13th of April, 1844, to hold a consultation on the subject, and 
adopt measures for carrying their object into effect. 

David Loring was appointed Chairman of the meeting, and J. B. 
Bussell, Secretary. It was, after discussion, decided that this object 
was not only desirable, but feasible ; and a Committee was appointed 
to make the necessary examinations, and recommend a suitable site. 

* Homer represents the departed spirits of his countrymen as greatly dissatisfied 
with their change of abode. The ghost of Achilles says to Ulysses 

u Rather I choose laboriously to bear 
A weight of woes and breathe the vital air, 
A slave to some poor hind that toils for bread, 
Than reign the sceptered monarch of the dead." 

t The gentlemen who composed this meeting were G. W. Neff, William Neff, Jas, 
Hall, Griffin Taylor, S. P. Chase, A. H. Ernst, S. C. Parkhurst, Dr. J. A. Warder, 
T. H. Minor, Dr. M. Flagg, R. Buchanan, David Loring, J. B. Russell, and Peter 
NefF, who was one of the earliest and most efficient promoters of the institution.

The requisites for such a site were, — first, that it should be as near 
the city as would be consistent with the necessary distance from the 
annoyances which the smoke, the turbulence and the noises of the city 
of industry and commerce, might occasion to visitors of the "city of 
the silent.' ' Secondly, — that it should be pleasantly situated, with an 
agreeably diversified surface, combining as many of those features 
which constitute landscape beauty as could be found in the necessa- 
rily limited space required. Thirdly, — that the soil should not be un- 
derlaid by the stiff, tenacious clay which retains water, and which 
renders many, otherwise suitable, sites ineligible. Many beautiful situa- 
tions on the hills which surround our city were rejected for want of 
these requisites. Another objection to some of them may, perhaps, 
have had some influence, though probably the circumstance was 
thought of but by few. This was a feeling of repugnance to place the 
bodies of our departed friends in so elose companionship with the 
fossil remains of beings which existed before the creation of man : and 
although those of our hills are not of the huge horrid monsters that 
are found elsewhere, the ideas they awaken are not such as it is desira- 
ble to call forth in connection with those of departed friends. 

After all the necessary researches and observations had been made, 
the Garrard farm, situated about four miles from the city, containing 
166 acres, was selected, as combining more of the requisites sought 
for than any other, and the price being considered reasonable, its pur- 
chase was recommended by the Committee, which had been appointed 
at the meeting above mentioned. This Committee consisted of the 
following gentlemen, well fitted for the duty assigned them, viz : 
William Neff, Melzsr Flagg, T. H. Minor, David Loring, R. 
Buchanan, S. C. Parkhurst, and A. H. Ernst, and their recom- 
mendation was approved, and adopted. 

A meeting was held on the 4th of May, and a committee was then 
appointed to prepare articles of association. It consisted of Timothy 
Walker, G. W. Neff, Nathan Guilford, Nathaniel Wright, D. 
B. Lawler, Miles Greenwood and Judge James Hall, and on the 1 1th 
they reported thirteen articles, which were ordered to be published in 
the newspapers, for the consideration of the citizens generally. On 
the 19th of October, these articles were referred to a committee consist- 
ing of Timothy Walker, S. P. Chase, James Hall, N. Guilford, 
N. Wright. D. B. Lawler and E. Woodruff, with instructions to 
prepare a Charter in conformity with them, to be presented to the 
Legislature for enactment. This was done, and Judges Burnet, Walkei 
and Wright were, on the 1st of December, appointed to lay it before 



[6] 

the Legislature, and obtain its passage. It was passed without objec- 
tion or alteration^ on the 21st of January, 1845. 

Of the above committees, eight members already rest in peace, in the 
pleasant places which they had chosen in their life-time, for their "last of 
earth ;" the others remain to aid with their accustomed zeal and energy, 
the progress of this and other patriotic and useful public institutions. 

Of the act of incorporation, the prominent features are as follows : 

" Every lot-holder is a member, and entitled to a vote. 

" The Corporation is authorized to hold land exempt from execution, 
and any appropriation to public use, for the sole purpose of a Ceme- 
tery, not exceeding 300 acres, 167 of which, such as shall be desig- 
nated by the Directors, shall be exempt from taxation. 

" All receipts, whether for the sale of lots, or otherwise, shall be ap- 
plied exclusively to laying out, preserving, protecting and embellishing 
the Cemetery, and the avenues leading thereto. 

" The original conveyance of lots from the Corporation to individuals, 
shall be evidenced by a certificate under the seal of the Corporation, 
which shall vest in the proprietor, his heirs and assigns, a right in fee 
simple to such lot, exempt from execution, attachment, taxation, or any 
other claim or lien, or process whatever, for the sole purpose of inter- 
ment, under the regulations of the Corporation, and said certificate 
shall have the same force and effect as a deed, duly executed in other 
cases." 

Much discussion took place in relation to a suitable name. Several 
were proposed, among them that of "Spring Grove," which being 
preferred by a large majority, was accepted. 

The approbation of the citizens in relation to the proceedings of the 
committee, was general, and the exertions of Messrs. Peter jNeff, 
Jas. Pullan and A. H. Ernst, in obtaining subscribers, were so suc- 
cessful, that as soon as the lots were surveyed, enough were immedi- 
ately taken up to establish the institution on a firm basis. 

The first meeting of the lot-holders for the election of Directors, in 
compliance with the requisitions of the Charter, was held on the 8th 
of February, 1845, when the following gentlemen were elected, viz: 
R. Buchanan, Wm. Neff, A. H. Ernst, R. G. Mitchell, D. Loring, 
1ST. Wright, J. C. Culbertson, Charles Stetson and Griffin Taylor, 
and on the 11th the Board was organized by the appointment of R. 
Buchanan, President, S. C. Parkhurst, Secretary, and G. Taylor, Treas- 
urer. 

The original plan of the grounds was made by J. Kotman, of 
Philadelphia. It has since been materially improved ; important alter- 
ations having been found necessary to adapt it to the surface of the 
ground. And it may be useful to others engaged in similar undertak-

ings here to remark, that a large outlay might have been saved, with 
a manifest improvement of the plan, by a reduction of the roads and 
gravel walks to about one half the number proposed. Considerable 
progress was made in the embellishment of the ground, under the di- 
rection of Thomas Earnshaw, Chief Engineer, and D. Delany, Super- 
intendent. But the present plan of adopting a system of Landscape gar- 
dening, by which the capacities of the ground are developed, and made to 
contribute to their attractions, is due fco the taste and talents of Adolph 
Strauch and his efficient asssistant, Henry Earnshaw ; and their aid in 
heightening and exhibiting in their best light, the various beauties of 
nature, has been faithfully and skilfully directed towards rendering 
Spring Grove one of the loveliest among the many lovely objects in the 
vicinity of Cincinnati. 

This city of the dead seems to have arisen as by enchantment, to 
testify that the city of the living, to which it belongs, is inhabited by 
those to whom the tombs of their loved ones are not emblems of sad 
despair, or of cheerless doubt, but of confident and cheerful belief of 
a happy re -union. The cultivation of the most beautiful of nature's 
products — the bright flowers, the ornamental trees and shrubs — recals 
to imagination that paradise, lost by the transgression, which brought 

" Death into the world with all our woe,' 

and, with it, recalls the promise of that lovelier — glorious — paradise, 
prepared by the conqueror of death, for those that love Him. 

The Cemetery was consecrated on the 28th of August, 1845, with 
appropriate solemn ceremonies, and an address by the Hon. Judge 
McLean, and the institution is constantly increasing its attractions and 
growing in favor with our citizens, who regard it as one of those 
in which they may feel a legitimate pride — as one whose tendency is to 
improve the taste, to soften the manners, and purify the morals of the 
people. 

Cincinnati is proud of the resting places she has prepared for her 
citizens after death. She is proud of her schools, which prepare her 
youth for life — for a life which shall conduct them to a death from 
which the sting has been taken — to a peaceful rest in hope, in that 
beautiful "field of God,"* that holy field — from which they may, like 
the flowers around them, rise in the spring time of eternity, in renewed 
beauty, to everlasting happiness. 

*Gottesaker, — the field of God — is the German appellation of a Cemetery. Campo 
Santo — the Holy field — is the Spanish designation.

MENTAL AND MORAL INFLUENCES OF SPRING GROVE. 



The following lines were written by a young mother, whose first born 
was laid in the Cemetery of Spring Grove, soon after she had begun to 
display those graces and beauties of character, which seemed to require a 
higher state of existence for their due cultivation. 

They are an exemplification of the brighter, happier feelings, excited 
on seeing the last resting place of a beloved object, situated where nature's 
loveliness is calculated to awaken feelings in strong contrast with those exci- 
ted by the melancholy, neglected, grave yards of our ancestors. 

The painful emotions which naturally arise, when we are parting for- 
ever, from the earthly remains of our loved ones, are soothed by the feel- 
ing that they are laid where art and nature are so directed by cultivation, 
as to seem designed to offer consolation to the afflicted and desolate. 

They seem to sympathize with us at those periods when sympathy is 
most, grateful to our feelings, and to join in paying those tributes of affec- 
tionate regret, which relieve our hearts in seasons of desolation. 

The contrast which our bright and beautiful, rural Cemetery presents 
to the grief-heightening Church-yards, and burial grounds of our ances- 
tors, is a cheering example of the progress of refinement in our feelings 
and manners, by the cultivation of the Christian virtues of Faith and 
Hope, whereby the greatest of those virtues, Love, is strengthened. The 
belief — the feeling — that these virtues are seeds of happiness which, plan- 
ted on earth, will bring forth flowers here, and fruits hereafter, in Heaven 
— fruits of glory, honor and immortality — must lead to their cultivation, 
and to that of every thing pure and lovely, and of good report. 



THE GRAVE OF THE FIRST BORN, 

" Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." 

Beneath the forest trees, 
Waved by the summer breeze, 
While birds with gushing throat, 
Poured forth a joyous note, 
We laid thee : — there 







S.S.L'HOMMEDIEU'S FAMILY MONUMENT 



[9] 

Where wild wood blossoms shed 
Pale leaves upon thy bed, 
And sun-light, glimmering lay, 
Gilding each leaf and spray, 
Where all was fair. 



For meet it was my child, 
Thou pure and undefiled, 
That earth's most lovely hues, 
And nature's fragrant dews 
Should weep for thee. 



That her soft, grassy bed, 
Should pillow thy young head, 
In silent slumber laid, 
Where nothing shadow made 
But sheltering tree. 



For in thy sunny days, 
Amid thy childhood's plays, 
Thou ever lov'd'st to wear 
Her glories in thy hair, 
And sung thy song, 



Ever of birds and flowers ; 
And wove thy summer bowers 
Where blossom, bird and bee 
Were playmates dear to thee, 
All the day long. 

Sweet sounds, soft airs, bright wreaths, 
How didst thou joy in these. 
A memory now they seem, 
A sweet and precious dream 
Of thy bright life. 

- 



[ io ] 

Bright ! tho' this life is sad, 
Thine, thine was ever glad. 
A joyous cadence : — fled, — 
A perfume o'er us shed, 
With blessings rife. 



Thy merry, bounding feet, 
Thy laugh so silver sweet, 
And more than all, the bliss 
Of thy mouth's rosy kiss, 
Told but of pleasure. 

We have the grief, the woe, 
The weary days, and slow, 
But it was given to thee, 
Only life's joys to see, 
In fullest measure. 

And as I thanked His love, 
Who gave thee from above, 
To dwell awhile on earth, 
Gladdening our happy hearth 
With hopes most bright ; 

So do I thank Him now 
Who sealed thy fair, young, brow, 
With His own name, and gave 
To us, the gloom, the grave, 
To thee the li^'ht.

Spring G-rove, 



How sweet to lay our precious dead 

In such a spot to sleep, 
Where waving trees their branches spread, 

And stars their vigils keep, 
Looking from Heaven with angel eyes 
To guard the sacred dust we prize. 

The wild-wood flowers their pale leaves shed, 

The siq-hino; breeze doth wave, 
The drooping bud that bows its head 

Above each cherished grave. 
Beauty on earth and joy in Heaven, 
To His beloved, God hath given. 

Hearts broken with their weight of woe 

How slowly learn to feel, 
That He who struck the bitter blow 

Has still the power to heal. 
But tears that dew the flowers bright, 
To-morrow's sun can gem with light. 

Then, not despairing, let us come 

Where nature still doth tell 
They are but taken to His home, 

Who " doeth all things well.'* 
We, see but darkly in our night, 
They, face to face in Heaven's own light. 

Sing then sweet birds your joyous note, 

Breathe soft thou summer air, 
In fragrant thanks let perfume float, 

On incense breathing prayer. 
His lambs He gathers to His breast, 
The sad have joy, the weary rest. 



[12] 

The two foregoing pieces refer to the feelings excited by our rural 
Cemetery, in the contemplation of the beauties of nature, during the sea- 
sons of Spring and Summer. 

The Wintry period and the fading flowers have also their softening 
influences on the mind and heart, which are beautifully set forth in the 
following touching stanzas. 

They are addressed by a young lady to a mother bereaved of a most 
lovely child, whose early death was the cause of an affliction which 
appeared to be too deep to be reached by any ordinary mode of consola- 
tion. They point to the only source of comfort to the mourner bereaved 
of her children, and awaken feelings that lead the heart from the gloom 
and despondence which every thought of earth seems to cause to sink 
deeper, by the exhortation to " look above." 

The influences of our rural Cemetery are exclusively pure and holy, 
for there the dead whom we loved in life speak to us from their graves,— 
not in words of rebuke and reproof, but of love and hope ; and earth's 
loveliness, when contemplated in connection with such words, tends to 
raise our thoughts to the source of all that is good and beautiful, and to 
give us a confident hope that those who are taken away are but removed 
to scenes of greater beauty where hope is forgotten in fruition. 

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS. 

TO A BEREAVED MOTHER. 

Mournfully, sweetly, the slow passing hours 
Chant a low dirge o'er the summer flowers, 

As they die ; 
Tenderly, softly, the pale virgin snow 
Descends to the earth, gently and slow ; 
It windeth their shrouds, as bending low, 

Fading they die. 

Quietly, sadly, a funeral train, 

For the withered flowers that ne'er bloom again, 

Is passing on. 
And one by one, as they sadly depart, 
They echo the wail of the stricken heart : 
The ceaseless wail of the broken heart, 

" Forever gone." 







W.S.JOHNSTON'S MONUMENT. 



[13] 

"Forever gone ! " and the jewelled chain 

Of hopes thou hads't woven, is severed in twain. 

Look above, 
Shining afar, through the mist of tears, 
Which dims the brightness of coming years, 
Is the arch of promise thy Maker rears, 

In His love. 

" Forever gone," life's shadows no more 
Shall darken their brows on that happy shore, 

"Where they rest. 
They wait for thee in that summer's shine, 
And swiftly the silent waves of time, 
Are bearing thee on to that shadowless clime, 

Of the blest. 

Borne on the breath of the summer showers, 
Come the faint odors of blooming flowers, 

From a far-off land. 
And the music that floats on the breeze of spring, 
Is the echo from golden harps that sing 
Glad songs of praise to the Heavenly King 

Of that angel band. 

These are the jewels from earth's dark mine : 
In the crown of the Heavenly King they shine 

Forevermore. 
These are the flowers all washed from stain 
Of mortal birth, — when thy lips shall drain, 
Life's bitter cup, they are thine again, 

To fade no more.

The love of beauty, that precious endowment of humanity which con- 
tributes so largely to human happiness, and which like hope 

" Travels through, nor quits us when we die," 

is exhibited in our monuments to the dead, as well as in our architecture 
for the living. 

To connect the remembrance of those whose memories we desire to 
preserve, with beautiful forms of art, as well as with the beauties of 
nature, seems to be an inherent wish of our being, and it is strong in 
proportion to the refinements of social life, and the cultivation of kindly 
feelings. 

Mausoleums and stately monuments to the memory of the mighty dead — 
those whose lives influenced nations — are not more consistent with our 
human feelings and sentiments, than the humbler memorials of those 
whose lives have influenced a few humble and loving hearts. 

Beauty is always desired ; and art and nature are invoked on such 
occasions, to give their combined influence to effect the best expression 
of the beautiful. 

Success in producing this expression, is a test of the degree of refine- 
ment and good taste, which characterizes any people, and their progress 
is one of those ennobling traits of humanity, which all civilization brings 
forth, and in which Christian civilization displays its superiority. Its 
memorials should be beautiful, for they speak of heart-felt love instead of 
admiration and the hero-worship of the heathen, which require stately and 
magnificent monuments. Memorials of love adorn our rural Cemeteries ; 
those which we dedicate to the memory of the great — of public bene- 
factors — must be too grand and imposing to accord well with those 
gentler feelings symbolized in our more modest monuments ; they may 
suitably adorn public buildings, or they may be so constructed, as to be 
useful for public purposes. 

The adoption of Egyptian monuments and funeral symbols, has been 
general, in modern times, and the obelisk is a favorite form of them in 
our own country, as well as in England. In the early period of Egyptian

history, the preservation of the body, after death, from that corruption 
and decay to which God and nature destined it, seems to have been con- 
sidered a sacred duty, due from the living to the dead. In the progress 
of civilization and mental improvement, other methods of preserving their 
memory, have been devised in a better and more rational taste, and other 
duties to the dead from the living, have been discovered, in the perform- 
ance of which, our characters are strengthened and improved. 

Greater and more costly memorials of kings and other potentates, have 
been erected in Egypt than elsewhere, during the periods of her ancient 
history, and this, together with other marks of extraordinary devotion to 
the preservation of the memory of the dead, is probably the reason of the 
frequent adoption of the Egyptian symbols in modern Cemeteries. The 
change of our vile, natural bodies into spiritual bodies, was not compre- 
hended in ancient times, tho' the winged globe of the Egyptians is con- 
sidered as the manifestation of a faint belief in the immortality of the 
soul, and their system of enbalmment, seems to be founded on a belief 
that it will return to the same body from which it was separated. 

This symbol — the winged globe — is now frequent in modern Cemete- 
ries, but the obelisk, which is considered a peculiarly suitable form for 
funereal monuments, is far more common. It's outline being simple, and 
admitting of no variety, except in size, gives it a peculiar identity ; and 
except that of the pyramid, is best adapted to confer durability ; and this 
is, combined with the gracefulness which the pyramid lacks. 

The monument, in the Egyptian style, erected by D. B. Lawler, is 
unique. It is not an obelisk nor a pyramid, but a massive solid block of 
grey marble, giving a pyramidical appearance of durability, surmounted 
by a sphynx in very dark marble, with a graceful, pleasing female face. 
It does not accord with the prevailing taste, but it helps to relieve the 
monotony of which some persons complain, caused by the too frequent 
recurrence of obelisks, columns, and Gothic pinnacles ; and its colors, 
sober and sombre, suit the taste of some who complain of the too great 
prevalence of white marble in our Cemetery. This last mentioned mate- 
rial for monuments seems, indeed, to be the favorite with a majority of 
the members of the association. They consider it the most suitable for 
giving that contrasted beauty in the works of art which gives the best 
affect to the beauties of nature. 

Some specimens of the blueish granite of New England are seen in 
Spring Grove, as well as of the variegated marble of Pennsylvania, and 
the grey sandstones of our own State and Kentucky, which accord better 






L lfl] 

with the taste of many persons as being more appropriate than lighter 
colored materials. 

The family monument of Jacob Hoffner, of which a representation is 
given in our frontispiece, copied from a photograph, is the most attractive 
to visitors, generally, of any one in the Cemetery. It consists of a 
Gothic shrine, in which is the statue of a graceful female scattering 
flowers upon the graves of the dead, all of white marble. The statue 
was executed in Florence, by Fantoci ; the shrine by Rule, of this city, 
from a design by J. Earnshaw, architect. The accompanying decora- 
tions could not be given in this view. 

The monument of the Baum family is one of the most conspicuous in 
the Cemetery, and attracts attention from its height, which is thirty feet, 
the base being five feet square. The material of which it is formed, 
being the Quincy granite of New England, gives an idea of strength and 
durability, and with the severe simplicity of its form, seem to render it 
peculiarly suitable to perpetuate the memory of that worthy pioneer of 
our city, Martin Baum, who was an excellent specimen of the best mem- 
bers of that class of worthies. 

A very superb mausoleum is in progress of erection for Jacob Strader. 
It is a Gothic chapel of twenty-five feet width in front and twenty-three feet 
in depth. It is built of the brown [red] sandstone of Connecticut, and 
the accompanying lithograph gives a view of it in front. It contains 
twenty-six catacombs, and is from the works of J. G. Batterson, of 
Hartford, Connecticut, the designer and builder. 

The family monument of Peter Neff is a beautiful sarcophagus of 
white Italian marble, the design taken from the tomb of Scipio. Some 
other monuments in the Cemetery are copied from the same, and they 
are generally admired. 

The monuments and vaults on that portion of the grounds which was 
first laid out, are already as numerous as they ought to be in that locality 
in order to the production of the best and most picturesque effect. The 
extension of the grounds has, therefore, been considered by the directors 
desirable, in order to afford sufficient space for future improvements — for 
the erection of monuments sufficiently distant from each other, to be free 
from the appearance of being crowded too closely. 

This consideration induced the Board, in 1847, to purchase forty acres 
for an addition to their grounds on the north, making their whole terri- 
tory at that time include (206) two hundred and six acres, which war 
inclosed by fences, surrounded by a hedge of Osage orange.

[17] 

Another addition of sixty acres was purchased in April last, by which 
their northern boundary was extended to the Greytown road. The asso- 
ciation now possesses two hundred and sixtj'-six acres, bounded on three 
sides by public roads, together with fourteen acres between the Hamilton 
Road and Mill Creek, amounting in all to two hundred and eighty acres, 
and containing varieties of surface sufficient to enable the landscape gar- 
dener to produce by his improvements many picturesque beauties. 

A monument has lately been erected by the association on which are 
the following inscriptions. The one on the rear refers to a reversionary 
legacy contingent on the death of the child to whose memory it is 
inscribed, which has lately been received by the association, amounting

Inscription on the rear : 

THIS STONE, 

ERECTED BY THE SPRING GROVE CEMETERY 

ASSOCIATION, 

IS A MEMORIAL OF LAURA WILLIAMS, 

And of the liberal bequest of her Father 
To the funds of this Associotion. 



The monuments to the memories of William Woodward and Thomas 
Hughes are the noblest in the city of Cincinnati ; — but they are not in 
Spring Grove. They are the two High Schools which bear their names, 
and were endowed by their liberality. The first named is one of those 

rare examples of such endowments made during the life of the donor, 
3 



[18] 

which were almost unknown until the American character began to rise 
above the influences of the habits of their European ancestry. 

Another name ought to be added to those of the early benefactors of 
the youth of our city ; it is that of John Kidd, who, although his noble 
benefaction was lost to those for whom it was designed, by one of those 
cases of injustice sanctioned by law, which disgrace the administration 
of the laws of our country, — is entitled (the more for that cause) to a 
memorial of gratitude from our city, and it is to be hoped that such an 
one may soon be found in Spring Grove. 

In the lessons of the dead for the instruction of the living, those from 
the tombs of such men as Woodward will be peculiarly impressive, for 
they exemplify faith by works. And Kidd — as the portion of his wealth 
which he gave to promote the instruction of the young was lost, — ought 
to be enabled to give instructions from his tomb which the subtleties of 
the law cannot cause to be lost. 

One of the beneficial influences produced by the establishment of our 
rural Cemetery, will be the correction of that miserable, barbarous, 
obtuseness of the finer feelings of our nature which permits the desecra- 
tion of our grave yards, and of which our city, young as it is, exhibits 
melancholy examples. 

The improvement of our taste and habits in relation to our Cemeteries 
is a testimony of moral and mental progress as decided and impressive 
as is the enslavement of steam and electricity to our physical progress. 

The establishment of such a Cemetery as Spring Grove is not only an 
acknowledgment of the debt due from the living to the dead, but a con- 
tribution to the mental and moral education of the unborn, who will owe 
us a similar debt hereafter. We all acknowledge the duly incumbent on 
us to provide for those who are to succeed us, and to profit by the lessons 
taught by those who have preceded us : but we are apt to imagine that 
those only who have acquired celebrity by their writings, or by their 
achievements in the field, or the cabinet, can give profitable instructions 
after death to the living. And it is true that history derives its lessons 
from these alone. But these lessons are like instructions in the higher 
departments of literature and the sciences, which alone are thought 
worthy to be considered constituents of education. We overlook the 
value of humbler teachers of the alphabet and the spelling book, without 
whose aid the occupation of the teachers of the sciences would be gone. 
In relation to the lessons we should learn from the graves of the dead, 
the case is similar. 






[19] 

Those of the pioneers of our city and State, humble and unpretending 
as most of them were in life, might teach us lessons of fortitude, stern 
self-denial, patience and perseverance through sufferings and dangers 
and privations, of which we can hardly form an idea at the present day. 

The desecration of their graves has been a disgrace to our city, but we 
trust that a spirit has been awakened which may redeem our characters 
in regard to them. 

To one of them who labored long and faithfully from an early date, a 
monument has been erected — a stately obelisk of white marble, bearing 
on its front this inscription, with other suitable ones on its other sides : 

IN MEMORY OF 

JOSHUA LACY WILSON, 

Born in Bedford County, Virginia, Sept. 22d, 1774, 

Removed with his family to the State of Kentucky, A. D. 1781. 

ORDAINED TO THE GOSPEL MINISTRY, 
BY THE PRESBYTERY OP TRANSYLVANIA, 

And installed pastor of the churches of Bardstown and 
Big Spring, A. D. 1804, 
Came to the State of Ohio, and took charge of the First 
Presbyterian Church in the city of Cincinnati, May, 1808, 
of which he continued Pastor until his death, after an 
illness of 3 weeks and 3 days, in which he underwent the 
most intense suffering, with triumphant patience. 

He fell asleep in Jesus and rested from his labors, Au- 
gust 14th, 1846, in the 79th year of his age, and the 42d 
of his ministry. 

To some others of the early immigrants to our city, its founders and 
builders up — suitable monuments have been erected. Those of Ethan 
Stone, James Ferguson, and David Loring, are distinguished among 
them, as well as that of Dr. Daniel Drake, who gained a world-wide fame 
by his untiring labors in the cause of medical education and medical sci- 
ence. That of David E. Wade has not been removed to Spring Grove, 
nor that splendid specimen of sculpture in the grey sandstone of this 
region, the memorial to Gen. John S. Gano, now in the Baptist Ceme- 
tery, in the city. These men were eminent among the pioneers of our 
city, together with Gen. William Lytle, whose magnificent donations in 



[20] 






the early period of the history of our city, for the promotion of educa- 
tion, with those of Arthur St. Clair, Judge Jacob Burnet, Gen. James 
Findlat, Wm. Corry, Judge Goforth, and others, were among the seeds 
of our present prosperity, ought to be memorialized in Spring Grove. 

Oliver M. Spencer, David Kilgour, Andrew Mack, and others of 
their class, ought also to be among them. A public monument to the 
memory of Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, is to be erected, and a lot in Spring 
Grove, has been dedicated to that purpose. A conspicuous place in the 
city has also been selected on the site of Fort Washington, as a most 
appropriate situation of such a monument. 

The founder of Cincinnati, John Cleves Stmmes, must not and can- 
not be forgotten among the early benefactors of the city, and of the 
extensive and fertile regions round about ; nor his brother, Judge Daniel 
Stmmes, distinguised among the earlier and most efficient of our pioneers. 

In the beautiful Cemetery of Frankfort, Ky., the memory of their ear- 
liest pioneers, has been honored in a style, which is honorable to the good 
taste and good feeling of the Kentuckians. The remains of Boone and 
his wife have been brought from the far West, and laid on that lofty emi- 
nence on the Banks of the Kentucky river, which gives a most extended 
view of that lovely country whose beauties so charmed the adventurous 
explorer of the then far West, as to induce him to devote a life of danger, 
privation and labor, to the object of making it the abode of civilization, 
and its name, the emblem of fertile fields, and treasures to be obtained 
from earth's surface. 

The lessons we may learn from the graves of our ancestors, and of the 
pioneers of our City and State should not be neglected. We know — tho' 
we are apt to forget — the benefit we derive from their lives, but few reflect 
on the benefits they can confer on us after death, if we study the lessons 
which we ought to find on their tombs. The Philanthropy which calls 
forth those living exhortations from the dead, which are more pure and 
free from taint and stains of earth, than any that can be called forth from 
the living, is peaceable, undefiled, full of mercy and good fruits ; and tho' 
these good fruits may require time to ripen and glow with the influences 
which the sun of righteousness will impart, yet they will in due time, 
bless and gladden the hearts of those who mourn now, but shall be com- 
forted hereafter. 

Many monuments besides those already referred to, in various styles of 
beauty, decorate Spring Grove. Among them are conspicuous those of 
Capt. J. Pierce, W. S. Johnston, J. C. Wright, L. Rehfuss, S. S. 
L'Hommedieu, in whose grounds lie the remains of Charles Hammond,

CHABLES NEAVE'S FAMILY MONUMENT 



[21 ] 

1 man distinguished not only for talents of the highest order, and scru- 
pulous integrity in private life, but of incorruptible and rare honesty in 
a political career, which the prospect of offices of the highest distinction 
would not influence. 

But few vaults are found in our Cemetery, the policy of the Board 
being to discourage them. The following are distinguised by finely orna- 
mented fronts, with convenient and suitable interior arrangements, viz : 

Those of Vachel Worthington, Samuel Wiggins, F. Bodman, 
Jas. C. Hall, Griffin Taylor, A. B. Coleman, S. Davis, S. G Brown, 
and E. S. Haines. 

The Monuments of Larz Anderson, R. Cameron, Bonte, J. Darr, 
Jas. McLean, C. Bates, J. 0. Sawder, (a graceful statue,) J. T. Foote, 
Dr. Fore, T. C. Day, J. H. Groesbeck, and I. Iuppenlatz, decorate the 
grounds appropriately. A small monument of white marble, on which is 
sculptured a rose bush with a bud separated from it by an arrow, and 
lying on the ground, exemplifies an appropriate, poetical idea, is seen in 
the grounds of G. K. Shoenberger. 

The monuments of Wm. Resor and K. Yardley, are also highly orna- 
mented. 

The family monument of Thompson Neave, commemorate in enduring 
granite, two of our early and useful settlers, Jeremiah Neave and Oliver 
Martin. Those of R. Beresford, G. M. Shields, M. Southgate, G. H. 
Bates, A. Hurdus, John Kennett, and J. R. Coram, together with those 
of the efficient members of the small band of founders of Spring Grove, 
G. W. Neff and William Neff, are in various styles of beauty, with many 
others erected, and in progress of erection, are among the attractions by 
which it is distinguished. Two of those in the south west portion of the 
grounds, excite much attention ; one on account of the graceful statue, of 
life size, with which it is surmounted. This is dedicated to the memory 
of Mrs. Groshon. The other is a memorial of Mrs. Frances Wright 
D'Arusmont, celebrated for her splendid talents as a writer, and for her 
disinterested efforts to improve the lot of the poor and humble, on earth, 
all of which failed, not being based upon Christianity. 

The lot on which is erected the monument to J. D. Douglass is a flower 
garden, cultivated with incessant care by a mother who has established 
already her own monument beside that of her son. 



[22] 

Several hundred other monuments have already been erected in the 
Cemetery ; many more are in progress of erection and in contemplation, 
showing that the addition to grounds which have lately been made consti- 
tute a judicious investment, and a provision for a considerable period in 
the future, against that crowded appearance which a superabundance of 
monuments already gives to Mount Auburn and Laurel Hill.

Trees 



The tree of life is a beautiful image — an image of a concentration of 
beauties, more extensive than any other object ; and that form of the 
manifestation of truth, which beauty affords, has no fairer emblem than 
trees. 

A rural Cemetery without trees, would be like a sandy desert without 
water, affording as little nourishment to the heart, as the latter can give 
to the body. The first impression of each, would be a desire to turn 
from it our steps, and our thoughts. 

The number and variety of the original forest trees of our country, 
contained in the site of Spring Grove, formed one of the causes of its 
selection for our Cemetery. Their names are included in the following 
catalogue, together with those that have been added from other parts of 
our country, and it is determined to continue these additions until they 
include all those which can be made to flourish in this climate. A 
valuable arboretum will thus be established, in a favorable situation, as 
well for the study of their peculiarities, as the enjoyment of their attrac- 
tions. 

Trees must necessarily be beautiful objects. Good taste in their arrange- 
ment, in their varieties, and in their relative positions toward each other, 
and toward different objects, may increase their beauties, but nothing can 
take them entirely away, as long as they continue to flourish. 

The indigenous trees of any country, are always among its interesting 
characteristics, and they form an important portion of its wealth. 

In our city of the silent, will be found the remains of natives of a 
great number of countries — chiefly of the temperate latitudes — and above 
them, the trees of all their various native countries, are intended to be 
assembled. 

The solemnizing influence of a deep forest has always been experi- 
enced and remarked. The beauties of the trees in their endless varieties, 
is seen and felt, inspiring solemn thoughts and feelings, without terror 
or repulsive gloom. This was probably the source of the Gothic style 
of Architecture.* 

*We arc aware of the discussions on this subject, but give our own opinions. 



[24] 

This style, admitting of an endless variety of ornament if required, or 
of exhibiting beauty in severe simplicity, if necessary, is peculiarly 
suitable for sacred architecture ; and the ancient cathedrals of Europe, by 
the adoption of this style, have become perpetual models of beauty and 
grace, more attractive to the sight, and more exciting to the higher feel- 
ings of our nature, than any of those heathen orders which include the 
Parthenon, the Erectheion and the Pantheon—or of the heavy Egyptian 
or ornate Indian. 

The object of the unknown inventors of the Gothic style, was to com- 
bine, like nature, the grand and magnificent in outline with great variety 
of beauties in the details — beauties which may be multiplied or dimin- 
ished, according to circumstances. 

Trees can not, naturally, be made to inspire melancholy feelings, altho , 
some, such as the Yew and the weeping Willow, are supposed to have 
that effect, but this is because they have been selected as emblematical of 
mourning. But seen even in this light, they are like sympathizing friends 
who weep with us in our afflictions, and thereby lighten instead of 
increasing our distress. 

The variety of indigenous trees in our Cemetery, altho' to most of 
our citizens it will appear greater than they expected, will seem small to 
the naturalist, but the number of exotics in the following catalogue, will 
exhibit a fair commencement of the design above mentioned, of establish- 
ing an arboretum.

EEPOET8 

PROM THE 



Landscape Gardener and the Superintendent, 



In the following reports from the above named officers will be found so 
many useful hints and judicious observations in relation to the affairs of 
their several departments, that they will give a permanent value to this 
publication. The members of the Association will perceive that the care 
and management of their grounds are in the hands of intelligent per- 
sons who understand their duties, and possess the good taste requisite foi 
their proper performance. 

The present Agents of the Association are : 

Adolph Strauch, Landscape Gardener and Superintendent. 
Chas. Moon, Sexton. 
Cyrus Davenport, Secretary. 

The Landscape Gardener is improving, laying out, and decorating 
Spring Grove in conformity with the rules established by the most emi- 
nent authors, who have given attention to the subject of rural Cem- 
eteries. 

The Superintendent and Engineer has charge of all matters connected 
with the disposal of the lots, and of the interments. 

The reports of the Secretary, which will constitute a separate chapter, 
will indicate the various details belonging to his department and the care- 
ful attention paid to them.

To the President and Directors of Spring Grove : 

Gentlemen : — In compliance 
with your wishes, I will briefly state my views respecting the laying out 
and keeping of a rural Cemetery, with reference to their practical appli- 
cation at Spring Grove.

[31 ] 

Good taste would seem to suggest that a rural Cemetery should par- 
,»ake more of the character of a cheerful park or garden, than of a com- 
mon grave yard, where everything has a gloomy and dismal appearance, 
and every inch of ground is used for graves. 

A rural Cemetery should form the most interesting of all places for 
contemplative recreation, and everything in it should be tasteful, classical, 
and poetical. I would, therefore, recommend the preservation of all 
corner lots at the junction of the Avenues, for the planting of forest 
trees, which will afford to Stockholders and Visitors places of delightful 
shady repose and pleasant drives, avoiding exposure to the burning sun, 
as is now the case in consequence of a large number of our forest trees 
having died. In planting those places care should be taken, that too 
many varieties are not mixed together, always bearing in mind, that sim- 
plicity is the foundation of true beauty. " The elevated grandeur of form, 
the delightful distribution of varied coloring, the magical interchange of 
tints, and the delicate transition from light to shade, can only be produ- 
ced by the employment of trees and shrubs corresponding in kind." 
The effect produced by the colors which certain trees assume in autumn, 
should be especially attended to, as the monotonous appearance of a plan- 
tation of evergreens, common on many Cemeteries, is wonderfully 
relieved by introducing trees, whose leaves assume brilliant colors in 
autumn ; such as the Scarlet Oak, the Scarlet Maple, the Sour Gum, the 
Tulip Tree, and the Sugar Maple. 

The grading of the entire surface of the grounds should be done under 
the control of the Directors, and in no case should private fancy or 
caprice be so far indulged as to deform the harmonious beauty of the 
grounds with petty terraces and vertical lines. As it is far easier and 
cheaper to grade an entire section in order to produce a natural and 
pleasing surface, than in grading only here and there a lot, and having 
the grounds always in an unfinished state, I would recommend, that in 
future, the grading of each section be done before it is surveyed and 
sold. This will save lot holders the expenses of grading, and the Asso- 
ciation will have the grounds always clean and in order. 

Another important item is the fixing of a certain time, in which a 
vault, tomb, monument, etc., when once begun, should be finished, and 
none should be permitted to leave stones, timber, etc., used in the erec- 
tion of monuments, scattered over the grounds, thereby spoiling the 
grass and shrubbery of the adjoining lots. 

In respect to the improvement of individual burial lots, I can state 
with confidence, that lots not enclosed, are not as much trespassed upon 



[32] 

as those surrounded with stone posts, iron bars, and chains ; for there 
really seems to be a disposition in the human mind to disregard useless 
restrictions. Visitors to Spring Grove will have an opportunity to con- 
vince themselves of the correctness of this statement. 

Corner stones of the same material as the monument, with the name 
of the owner and the number of the lot and section engraved on them, is 
all that is necessary to indicate the boundaries of each lot, and the sav- 
ing of money to the owner is very great. 

The trees and shrubs could be so arranged as to form a background to 
the monument, which should always be in or about the center of each 
lot, in order to place the graves around it, thus saving the expenses of 
head and foot stones to each grave, and giving a lot more the appearance 
of what it should be, — a family burial place, — whereas, when filled with 
head and foot stones, it looks too much as though designed for single 
interments. 

The dispensing with unsightly fences, hedges, head and foot stones, 
and other useless appendages, will enable lot holders to spend more in a 
family monument, which would be the admiration of generations to 
come, and give sculptors a chance to produce something besides the com- 
mon marble shaft, now rather too numerous at Spring Grove. Too 
many monuments on one lot give it the appearance of a marble yard, 
where they are for sale, [as is often remarked by visitors to these grounds.] 

" To render a rural burial place all that it ought to be in the way of 
monumental beauty, the utmost care should be taken in the selection and 
proper variety of its sepulchral devices. An understanding of purely 
classic forms and a chaste taste will cause an enduring monument to be 
erected over the grave of a departed friend, and will certainly abstain from a 
servile imitation of others. But the finest of models and the choicest of 
materials will avail but little, unless the foundation and erection be made 
with care. The monument should rest on a bed of concrete and be below 
the action of frost and the grave-digger. Limited pecuniary means 
will probably ever be a reason why the majority of the tributes to the 
departed will be of a simple character and erected at small expense. 
But good taste is happily not subservient to the power of gold, and 
should ever be consulted even in the simplest memorial." — (Rural Cem- 
eteries of America.) 

"I have seen," says the venerable Chateaubriand, "memorable mon- 
uments to Croesus and Cesar, but I prefer the airy tombs of the Indians, 
those mausoleums of flowers and verdure refreshed by the morning dew, 
mbalmed and fanned bv the breeze, and over which waves the same

branch where the blackbird builds his nest, and utters forth his plaintive 
melody." 

There are burial lots in this Cemetery so crowded with trees, shrubs, 
and flowers, that they actually destroy each other, hide the monument, 
and leave hardly a place for interment, especially when such a lot is cut 
up with little walks and filled with the sweepings of the marble yards. 
Those paths are not only useless, but are also a favorite place for the 
growth of weeds, and the expenses of keeping them in order are more 
than lot holders in general are willing to pay, and yet, by right, they 
should be charged with the exact time devoted to the keeping them clean. 
In such lots economy and simple beauty is sacrificed, and the result is 
only an immense mosaic, unfortunately too much the case in many Cem- 
eteries. 

In planting a family burial lot, great care should be taken in the selec- 
tion of appropriate trees and shrubs. As the monument is the principal 
object, it is quite natural that it should be shown to the best advantage. 
I would therefore recommend, for example, the planting of the Norway 
Spruce for a background to the monument, having in front the Hemlock 
or White Spruce. Both, properly combined with the silvery foliage of 
the Bohemian Olive, will produce a fine effect. The Cypress is also a 
suitable tree on account of its roots not spreading much, and therefore 
not interfering vvith the digq-iug of graves. It is also the emblem of 
immortality, and was planted by the ancients over the graves of their 
dead. The Arbor-Vitae and the Yew are historical trees, and well adap- 
ted for a burial lot. There are many other varieties, equally suitable, but 
too numerous to mention. 

"A rural Cemetery in the neighborhood of a large city, properly 
designed, laid out, ornamented with mausoleums, vaults, tombs, columns, 
vases, urns, etc., tastefully planted with appropriate trees and shrubs, and 
the whole properly kept, might become a school of instruction in archi- 
tecture, sculpture, landscape gardening, arboriculture and botany, and 
in those important parts of general gardening, neatness, order, and high 
keeping." — (/. C. Loudon.) 

"A garden Cemetery and monumental decorations," says the learned 
and eloquent author of Necropolis Glasguensis, "afford the most convin- 
cing tokens of a nations progress in civilization, and in the arts which 
are its result." 

We have seen with what pains the most celebrated nations of which 
history speaks, have adorned their places of sepulture, and it is from 
their funeral monuments that we gather much that is known of their 



[34 J 

civil progress and their advancement in taste. Is not the history of 
Egypt written on its pyramids, and is not the chronology of Arabia pic- 
tured on its tombs? Is it not on the funeral relics of Greece and Rome, 
that we behold those elegant images of repose and tender sorrow with 
which they so happily invested the idea of death ? Is it not on the urns 
and sarcophagi of Etruria that the lover of the noble art of sepulture 
still gazes with delight? And is it not amid the catacombs, the crypts 
and the calvaries of Italy, that the sculptor and the painter of the dark 
ages chiefly present the most splendid specimens of their chisel and their 
pencils. In modern days, also, has it not been at the shrine of death 
that the highest efforts of the Michael Angelos, the Canovas, the Thor- 
waldsens, and only recently by our own eminent artist, H. Powers, have 
been elicited and exhibited ? 

The tomb has, in fact, been the great chronicler of taste throughout the 
world. In the East, from the hoary pyramid to the modern Arab's grave ; 
in Europe, from the rude tomb of the Druid, to the marble mausoleum of 
the monarch ; and in America, from the grove which the Indian Chief 
planted round the sepulcher of his son, to the monument which announces 
to the lovers of freedom, the last resting place of Washington. 

"Why," says Washington Irving, "should we thus seek to clothe 
death with unnecessary terrors, and spread horrors around the tomb of those 
we love ? The grave should be surrounded with every thing that might 
insure tenderness and veneration. Can this be done by having burial lots 
enclosed with stone posts, iron bars, and chains ; the sight of which is 
repulsive in the extreme, as it conveys the idea of rudeness and confine- 
ment ?" 

"The ancients, from their feelings never being aroused by the revolt- 
ing emblems of mortality and confinement, contemplated death without 
terrors, and visited its shrine without fear. They knew nothing of sacred 
enclosures, but they knew of sacred groves of trees ; they saw beauty 
and grandeur in a massive monument, but not in an iron fence around 
their graves ; they knew how to produce variety, but abstained from 
destroying variety by its excess. 

Iron railings around burial lots derogate from the sacredness of the 
scene, by supposing it possible, that the Cemetery would be visited by per- 
sons incapable of conducting themselves properly, or that the grounds 
were pastured by cattle, which, fortunately, is not the case at Spring Grove. 
Another, and the most important question is : how much will it ulti- 
mately cost to keep the grounds in proper order, supposing all the lots

to be enclosed? Certainly more than four times the amount requisite to 
the keeping a Cemetery without enclosures. 

The suggestions prescribed above, are made with reference to improv- 
ing Spring Grove tastefully and economically to individual lot owners, 
and to the association, as a body. My views are the result of experience 
and observation, during my travels on the continent of Europe, England 
and the United States. And when fully sustained by the eminent Authors 
quoted, I do not hesitate to submit them for your consideration. 
Respectfully, 

A. STRAUCH, 

Landscape Gardener at Spriuy Grove. 



To the Board of Directors of Spring Grove Cemetery : 

Gentlemen : — In compli- 
ance with your request, I beg leave to present the following suggestions 
for your consideration, as being in my opinion necessary to be adopted at 
this time, in view of the increased number of lots that are constantly 
being improved. 

FOUNDATIONS OF MONUMENTS, &C. 

An examination of the foundations of several monuments, fences, 
<fec, has convinced me that it is highly important that more care should 
be exercised in their construction than has hitherto been taken ; in fact 
it is not necessary to examine the foundations themselves to discover the 
defect alluded to. It is to be seen in many cases by the inclination of 
the superstructure, and it is certain that in order to preserve the original 
beauty of any improvement, the foundation is of the first importance. 
I would, therefore, recommend that they be built by the Cemetery, and 
of the best material, of suitable size, be laid in good mortar or concrete 
throughout ; and be of such a depth that they cannot be disturbed by 
the action of the frost, or any graves which may be made near them. 

MONUMENTS. 

Which are so constructed as to have vertical joints, are so liable to be 
disturbed by the frost acting between their joints, and thereby opening 
them to a considerable extent, which must increase every year, so that in 



L 36 ] 

a few' years there will nothing remain but a mass of ruins, where the 
once beautiful improvement stood. It would be well if all proprietors 
wishing to make permanent improvements would give the subject due 
consideration. 

CASUAL WORKMEN. 

It is necessary that those persons contracting to put up vaults, inonu- 
.nents, or other improvements, should have only sufficient time allowed 
them to perform their work. In many instances material is deposited on 
the lot some months, and in some cases years, before it is used, so that 
some portion of the grounds are constantly and unnecessarily disfigured 
by the unsightly appearance of a mass of stone or brick. It would be 
well if the Superintendent could make an agreement with the persons 
contracting to erect any improvement on the grounds, specifying the 
time the same shall be completed, after a portion of the material is 
brought on the ground. 

INTERMENTS ON LOTS. 

As few lots are permanently improved before interments are made on 
them, it is highly important the first step should be rightly taken. I beg 
leave, therefore, to suggest a few ideas in regard to the mode of interment, 
with respect to the position of the grave on the lot. I would recommend 
in all family lots to place the interments so that a monument could be 



erected a little back from the center of the lot, so as to make the inter- 
ments around it — the Head of the Family should occupy the front of the 
monument, and be placed with the head close to it, as shown by the 
accompanying sketch. By arranging the graves in this manner eight 
interments can be made ; and the names placed on the monument, just 
above their respective graves. 







GRAND1N FAMILY MONUMENT. 

tyCHA? RULE . 



[37] 

The expense of a monument, suitable for a family, might be urged by 
some as a reason for using headstones, but when we consider that a monu- 
ment of this description will answer in the place of eight headstones, I think 
we should find the monument would in the end be the cheapest, and 
stand as a memorial when all the small headstones had crumbled into dust, 
or owing to their insecure and small foundation, be found in an oblique, 
or even horizontal, instead of their original perpendicular position. A 
glance at a number now erected on these grounds will convince any one 
of the truth of the remark, and also of the necessity of something more 
permanent. 

By adopting the method recommended, the ground is used more econ- 
omically, and sufficient room is left to beautify the lot with appropriate 
shrubs and flowers, which will make a most lively contrast with the white 
marble monuments : and by the proper arrangement in planting, fresh 
scenery will constantly be presenting itself to the view of the visitor. 
As he walks over the beautiful green grass he will see the stately monu- 
ments, towering in front of the deep green foliage, which brings forth 
more prominently the objects of admiration which he is contemplating, 
and at the same time hides all others from view — thus constantly pre- 
senting some new objects not before noticed, which again calls forth his 
admiration. At every turn the eye is arrested by the tender proof of 
some late friendly visitation ; flowers as yet fresh and unfaded are seen 
scattered over the not yet verdant sod. The green-house myrtle flour- 
ishes in the parterre dedicated to affection and love ; the chaste forget-me- 
not blooms over the ashes of a faithful friend ; the green laurel shades 
the cenotaph of the hero, and the drooping willow planted by the hand 
of the orphan weeps over the grave of the parent — how sublime to con- 
template one after another such mementoes of affection ! 

The emotions would be far different, were the same objects to be 
viewed in one glance, especially if the ground should be thickly studded 
with the small headstones, posts, and chains, and iron fences, many of 
them as tall as the surrounding monuments, which forms no pleasing 
contrast, and not only gives to the scenery a monotonous appearance, but 
ali its grandeur is sacrificed. 

"Nothing can make amends," says Coleridge, "for the want of the 
soothing influences of nature, and for the absence of those types of reno- 
vation and decay, which the fields and the woods offer to the notice of 
the serious and contemplative mind. To feel the force of this sentiment, 
let a man only compare in imagination the unsightly manner in which 
our monuments are crowded together in the busy, noisy, unclean, 



[38] 

and almost grassless church -yard of a large town, with the still seclusion 
of a rural Cemetery, in some remote place, and yet further sanctified by 
the grove of cypress in which it is embosomed." 

" Let us be careful, however, in our anxiety to escape from gloom and 
horror, not to run into the opposite extreme of meritricious gaudiness. 
Death and the grave are solemn and awful realities ; they speak with a 
powerful and intelligible voice to the heart of every spectator, as being 
the common lot of all. To say nothing of the bad taste, therefore, any- 
thing obtrusively picturesque, anything savoring of fashionable pretti- 
ness, any far-fetched conceits, or tortured allegories, jar upon the feelings 
of every well-regulated mind, and excite ideas the very opposite to those 
of sympathy and tenderness. Our Cemeteries then should bear a solemn 
and soothing character, equally remote from fanatical gloom and conceited 
affec tation. ' ' — ( Picton. ) 

INTERMENTS IN VAULTS. 

The reflections which naturally suggest themselves in contemplating 
the wrecks of humanity which have occasionally been brought to light, 
are such as to lead us to ask — Of what possible use is a resistance to the 
laws of nature, which, when most successfully executed, can at best only 
preserve a defaced and degraded image of what was once perfect and 
beautiful ? Could we by any means arrest the progress of decay, so as 
to gather round us the dead of a hundred generations in a visible and 
tangible shape — could we fill our houses and our streets with mummies, 
what possible acquisition could be more useless — what custom could be 
more revolting ? For precisely the same reason, the subterranean vaults 
and the walls of brick which we construct to divide the clay of humanity 
from that of the rest of creation, and to preserve it separate for a time, as 
it were, for future inspection, are neither useful, gratifying, nor ulti- 
mate ly effectual. Could the individuals themselves, who are to be the 
subjects of this care, have power to regulate the officious zeal of their 
survivors, one of the last things they could reasonably desire, would be 
that the light should ever shine on their changed and crumbling relics. 

" On the other hand, when nature is permitted to take her course — 
when the dead are committed to the earth under the open sky, to become 
early and peacefully blended with their original dust, no unpleasant asso- 
ciation remains. It would seem as if the forbidding and repulsive con- 
ditions which attend on decay were merged and lost in the surrounding 
harmonies of creation." — (Rural Cemeteries of America.)

REGISTER OF INTERMENTS. 

Orders are frequently sent out to the Cemetery desiring that graves 
should be opened adjoining or near the graves of persons previously 
interred, where the graves are not designated by stones or otherwise. It 
is impossible to comply with the directions given. I have, therefore, 
adopted a register, showing at a glance the name of the deceased, on 
whose lot interred, the number of lot and section, and also the exact pos- 
ition of the grave on the lot, which register is kept at the Cemetery, and 
is an interesting and useful record for future reference. 

More than one interment, should never be made in the same Grave, 
unless at a great depth from the surface. 

Mr. "Walker, the author of the Modern Grave-Yards, observes, that "lay- 
ers of earth of several feet in depth can no more intercept the transmis- 
sion of gas into the atmosphere, than they can by their density prevent 
the infiltration of water. Then, indeed, if more than one coffin were 
allowed to be put in a single grave, and be as close as three or even four 
feet to the surface of the ground, it might be considered the crater of a 
volcano vomiting forth poison in the form of a column of gaseous mat- 
ter, which changing in direction with every change of the wind, would 
poison the atmosphere for many miles around, while the water of decom- 
position would poison the springs of the subsoil.' , 

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS. 

With respect to the general improvement of lots, I am much gratified 
to be able to state, that the new mode of improving, without fencing, as 
suggested by our able Landscape Gardener, is now certainly appreciated 
by those wishing to improve their lots in strict harmony with the require- 
ments of a rural Cemetery ; and I am happy to see the prospect of a 
speedy change in the general taste of improvement in this particular. It 
must be gratifying to those who are anxious to dispense with the gloomy 
enclosures, to know that in the four months just past sixty lots have been 
sold, not one of which, I believe, will be disfigured by either stone, iron, 
or hedge fences, but will have neat corner stones to designate their boun- 
daries, and be planted with appropriate trees and shrubs. 

I certainly think it will only require a short time and very little argu- 
ment to convince all of the superiority of this method, and the utter use- 
lessness of all fences, which are both unsightly and inappropriate, and 
also expensive, not only in their first erection, but also in the constant 
want of repair and painting. The time is not far distant when we shall 



[40] 

i manv nf t.ViP. fp.np.ps nr»w at^nrl 



see beautiful natural improvements where many of the fences now stand, 
as several fences have already been taken down, and others are ordered 
to be taken down. 

It is in contemplation to commence immediately the formation of a 
Lake, covering about two acres at the head of the Main Avenue. This 
element of nature, whose works it is so desirable to imitate, has been 
much needed, and the completion of this improvement will do much 
toward making Spring Grove what it is destined to be, one of the most 
beautiful and lovely rural Cemeteries in the United States.

Reflections 



Death is the simile of certainty, the model subject of belief. That it is 
to come to all, is ttre only subject in relation to the living, that admits of 
no discussion or doubt. Its period, however, is sufficiently uncertain, to 
produce effects very similar to those which would result from doubts of 
its certainty. It is feared by all alike, and this fear creates an anxiety in 
all minds, to look beyond the grave, and to enquire into the results of 
that immortality of the soul, the belief of which seems to be an innate 
idea, and which certainly is inferred from revelations, given us by our 
Creator. 

But these revelations are in shadowy types, and in similes and symbols 
which excite continual mental research, and task the utmost powers of the 
mind to comprehend. The reason of this is, probably, that the education of 
the mind, and the extension of its powers — its expansion and strength, may 
be promoted by the exertions called forth by hope and fear, as the growth, 
the expansion and health of the body are promoted by exercise, by the 
labors necessary for obtaining the means of existence. 

Hope and fear are as powerful stimulants to the mind, as hunger is to the 
body, and the results of the change which is heralded by death, constitute 
subjects for their continual exercise. That they may, by being over- 
wrought, cause the destruction of the powers of the mind, is another 
point of resemblance to our bodily powers. That the mind may be so 
judiciously exercised, as to increase its strength, or so injudiciously edu- 
cated, as to destroy its powers, is shown in the former case, by the won- 
derful progress of physical improvements in modern times, and in the 
latter, by the numerous cases of insanity continually occurring, and con- 
stantly increasing with the progress of civilization. This increase is not 
necessarily the concomitant of progress, but one of those evils which 
arise from a neglect of those safeguards and precautions which ought to 
accompany all the manifestations of progress. In physical development — 
such as steam, and its application to navigation and railroads, for instance — 
6 



[ m ji 

how many lives have 1 ^en sacrificed to this negleo in physical matters. 
The consequences of ti j neglect of moral pre d in mental education, 

are seen in the in r asing numbers of suicides ' a maniacs. We ought 
to be taught by these facts, tLat all possible measures of precaution should 
be adopted with every improvement, mental or physical. 

Instead of studying to make every thing connected with death mc 
repulsive than nature makes it, we ought to require her aid to soften anci 
mitigate the dread and the sorrows which necessarily attend it. 

It ought to be made one of the most important educators, not only of 
the heart, but also the mind, and to this end all the external matters neces- 
sarily attendent on it, ought to be as cheerful and beautiful as possible. 

Some of ihe best, and some of the worst influences on the human char- 
acter, have arisen from the desire to look beyond the grave. Thoughts 
and investigations, by which the mind is strengthened, and improved, 
have been excited, and the dread and fears by which it is weakened, 
have had most extensive influence. The practice in for: ler times, of 
surrounding the graves with mournful images and emblems — of banishing 
beautiful, and establishing fearful, symbols — has given superstition power 
to raise up a ghastly brood of hideous, repulsive forms, which exert a 
most pernicious influence on the education which begins in the early 
periods of childhood &a*J youth. 

This influence may not be displayed in its worst form, but surely it is 
seen in its most absurd and ridiculous light, in the system jately brought 
up from the tomb, in which the progress of knowledge and civilization 
had laid it, of conducting researches concerning a future ctate by physi- 
cal operations performed by metaphysical agents. Those agents with 
powers too limited to obtain influence over any but the weak, have, not- 
witstanding, much power for evil, but none for good, over many minds — 
minds to the aid of which reason and common sense are not invoked. 

The lessons taught by such a seminary of instruction as Spring Grove 
will never sink, even a weak mind, so low as to become a victim of those 
modern revivals of ancient superstitions, which, transparent though they 
be, in their demonstrations, have those influences over many that super- 
stition has obtained in all ages of the world. 

Nothing is so universally exciting as those subjects, whatever they 
may be, that awaken thoughts of death and a future life. To search out 
all the hidden mysteries connected with them is a universal desire, and 
to give this desire a profitable direction must be a portion of all pro- 
fitable education. But we feel impelled to turn our thoughts aside from 
such contemplations when we see only the gloom and sorrow connected

[43] 

with the grave — when nothing beautiful, but on the contrary, things 
revolting to our taste and feelings (as in the case of desecrated, neglected 
o-rave yards,) are presented as its concomitants. But the kindly affec- 
tions, and the pious thoughts awakened by the sight of such a Ceme- 
tery as Spring Grove, are aids in the education of the heart, of which it 
is a misfortune to any community to be deprived. 

The tendency to atheism arising from mental indolence, or the dread 
of accountability in a future state — the desire to free the evil passions 
from restraint — is that rebellion of an evil heart which it should be an 
object of education to subdue. The atheist assumes to discard all belief, 
and to limit his mental, to as narrow limits as his physical, researches, — to 
desire no higher education than that which will give him a knowledge of 
the external forms of matter, and thus to lessen, instead of increasing as 
he ought, the difference between himself and the higher classec of infe- 
rior animals. He sinks himself to their level in order to relieve himself 
from the fear of future accountability. 

The mind cannot be educated, expanded and improved by those to 
whom this life is " the be-all and the end-all here " and hereafter. To such 
the sole rule of life will be, " let us eat and drink for to-morrow we die." 
The stimulants which the mere living in a Christian community must 
give to youthful minds soon lose their influence; and when the atheists' 
powers of vicious indulgence fail, he dies like those to whose level he 
has endeavored to descend. 

As much has been revealed in regard to a future state as is profita- 
ble for doctrine, for instruction, and reproof. But instructions which are 
profitable may be made repulsive. And to guard against this evil the 
silent, educational lectures of Spring Grove will be made as attractive as 
external beauty can make them, and there will be found not only a Cem- 
etery for the dead, but a seminary of instruction for the living in bright 
contrast to the repulsive grave yards of our ancestors. 

Nature is an educator of the heart. She employs a faculty of teachers 
so attractive and lovely that their teachings will retain Sheir influence 
during life, to soften its griefs and mitigate its sorrows — to direct its aspir- 
ations and restrain its errors. 

In each of her departments the voices of her instructors — voices not 
always heard but always felt — fall, like " the gentle dew from Heaven " 
upon the soul to refresh it when weary, and to stimulate its upward 
growth towards the skies. 

From earth lessons of love, of gentleness, and of purity are given — 
in their silent language — by the majestic trees-r-by the humble shrubs, 



[44 j 

and by those children of beauty, the flowers of the field, adorned with 
every lovely tint of color that sun-light can paint on their petals ; and 
looking up with their bright confiding eyes to Heaven for those influences 
on which their lives and growth depend. 

From the air come forth in the joyous notes of the beautiful and ever 
cheerful birds, songs of praise and thanksgiving to their Maker, which 
in strains of melody give lessons to the soul, teaching it to soar upwards, 
like them, towards the skies, in its aspirations for higher knowledge and 
brighter lights. 

From the waters, whether calm and placid in their quiet beauty, or 
leaping and dancing among their rocky mates with sportive cheerful 
voices, ascend lessons of instruction to the docile heart and vigilant 
understanding ; while from the Heavens above, the many-changing 
clouds rolling across the deep blue above them by day, and by night the 
bright-eyed stars looking down from above in silent watchfulness of the 
deeds done in the hours due to rest, warn and instruct — enlighten and 
direct — the erring — the lost — wanderer among the dangerous wilds of 
infidelity and skepticism, and exhort him to look up on high for his 
guides. 

Nature's teachers are never wearied — never discouraged. By incessant, 
though gentle operations, they change the rocks of the heart to fertile 
soil, in which the seeds they sow will grow up and flourish, yielding 
blossoms of hope and fruits of righteousness.

Reports for 1856, 



The recommendations for the improvement, contained in the following 
report of the President, have been adopted, and they are made, or in 
progress. 

The state of the funds, as given in the Secretary's report, it will be 
understood, have been materially modified by the purchase of the addi- 
tional ground previously mentioned, and by other circumstances of minor 
importance. The proportion of sales to the current expenses, continues 
to keep the treasury in a healthy state, leaving no doubt that it will be in 
a condition to meet all demands which may arise from carrying into effect 
all the plans of the Board. 

The Reports of the Secretary will be interesting, not only to the mem- 
bers of the Association, but also to others, to whom they will give useful 
information relative to the most suitable methods of conducting the affairs 
of similar institutions. The records which are intended to be commenced 
and permanently kept, such as the times of setting out the trees, and other 
plants, the periods of their flowering in each year, and the meteorological 
records, generally, will possess a continually increasing value. 

In this country, where the march of improvement is as relentless and 
unsparing as the march of barbarian armies over a conquered country, it 
is a matter of great importance, and of- equal difficulty, to find a place 
where any thing can be considered safe from the derangements which are 
caused by our continual improvements. 

With us, death only can be considered a permanent institution ; and 
even its sanctity can not preserve the fields devoted to its service, from 
desecration. The bones of our pioneers cannot be allowed to rest in peace; 
and civilized society is as remorseless and unsparing in its attacks upon 
their mouldering remains as those of their savage enemies were upon their 
efforts to bring these fair and fertile regions into their present rich and flour- 
ishing situation. The extraordinary precautions, however, which have 
been taken to guard Spring Grove, are considered sufficiently conserva- 
tive, to inspire confidence, and to render it a safer place for such records 
as ought to be preserved and continued indefinitely, than any of our other 
institutions. Its bulwarks are believed to be impregnable, and its protec- 
tion is a guarantee of safety to the records of the living, as well as to the 
hones of the dead.

TWELFTH . ANNUAL REPORT 

OF THE TRUSTEES 

TO THE LOT OWNERS, IN THE 

Cemetery of Spring Grove. 



Office of the Cemetery of Spring Grove, ) 
Cincinnati, October 6th, 1856. \ 

The Trustees have the pleasure to present in the following Report, a 
highly favorable and prosperous condition of the Cemetery. Since the 
last Annual Report, the Receipts have exceeded the Expenditures about 
$10,800. $5000 of this amount has been invested in Bonds, secured 
by mortgage on real estate, at 10 per cent, interest, as part of the perma- 
nent fund, the remainder, about $5,800 in cash, is reserved to pay for 
improvements. This fund now amounts to $12,800, in Stocks and 
Bonds, besides some $6,000 in Real Estate, unsold, being a part of the 
legacy of the late Charles E. Williams. 

The trust fund being the amount already appropriated by individuals, 
to keep their lots in good order, amounting to $800 — has also been inves- 
ted in Bonds and Mortgage, at 10 per cent. 

The general improvements made to the grounds during the past year, 
have been appropriate and beautiful ; and the Trustees congratulate the 
proprietors in having secured for the Cemetery, the valuable services of 
Mr. Strauch, whose great experience and good taste as a Landscape Gar- 
dener, must eventually make Spring Grove a place of sepulture, unsur- 
passed by any in the Union. 

The expenditures to keep the grounds in order, have been less during 
the past year, than in years previous, because the improvements heretofore 
made, had been done with a view to decrease labor and expense in future 
years.

L« ] 

To curtail expenses, the Trustees combined the offices of Superinten- 
dent and Surveyor in one person — Mr. Henry Earnshaw — which will 
probably save $1,000 per annum, until the survey of the whole plat is 
completed. 

In July last, the price of lots was advanced from 20 to 25 cents per 
square foot — this advance was not made without due consideration ; aftei 
corresponding with the officers of most of the large Cemeteries in the 
United States, and ascertaining that our price was much lower than the 
average. The result of this advance, was the sale of a large number of 
lots, previous to the first of July — which placed the Cemetery in ample 
funds for immediate improvements. It is by no means the wish, of the 
Trustees, to ever raise the price of lots to extravagant rates, but on the 
contrary, to keep them so low that all classes may be enabled to inter in 
Spring Grove Cemetery — as an instance, it may be stated, that in the 
sections allowed for single interments, the ground is sold at a less price 
than when sold in lots. The Cemetery of Spring Grove was established 
solely for the purpose of Public good — no one was to make money out of 
it. In conducting its affairs, the Trustees have had a single eye to this 
object, and have managed according to their best judgment, to carry out 
the views of their founders. 

The immediate improvements now contemplated, are a Lake to receive 
the waters from the fine springs at the foot of the first rising grounds — 
and the tasteful landscape adornment of the flat land north of and adjoin- 
ing the Railroad — each of these will add new beauties to the Cemetery. 

By the liberality of some of the lot owners, about $1,000 has been 
subscribed as contributions towards making the lake, this will insure its 
immediate commencement, and pay half its estimated cost. The Report 
of the Secretary explains in detail, the Financial condition of the Associ- 
ation. Three Directors have this day to be elected, as the term of ser- 
vice of W. JSTeff. A. H. Ernst, and R. Buchanan, have expired.

REIPO RT 



OF TH 



Committee on Hedging 



The following report was laid before the Board, approved, and ordered 
to be recorded. The faithful, persevering attention and labors of this 
Committee, were duly appreciated by the Board, and a vote of thanks 
was passed unanimously. 



REPORT, &c. 

At an early period after the organization of the Spring Grove Ceme- 
tery, its enclosure became a matter of serious consideration. Iron rail- 
ing, stone wall, and board fence, were each suggested, but the funds at 
the command of the Board, at that time, were too limited to authorize 
the adoption of either. Finally, on motion of our excellent colleague, 
(now no longer with us,) William Neff, Esq., it was resolved that the 
grounds be enclosed with an Osage Orange hedge, and that a committee 
of one be appointed to carry this resolution into effect, and that the under- 
signed be that committee. 

With little practical knowledge (especially with this new plant,) this 
responsibility was assumed with reluctance and hesitation. The duty, 
however, promptly commenced by procuring the seeds, growing the 
plants and preparing the border for their reception in the hedge row, in 
the following spring, from the seed bed. 

The distance of the plants from each other, and the proper mode of 
training, were (in the absence of practical experience,) subjects which 



L 49 ] 

admitted much latitude of opinion, and your committee was in conse- 
quence, often subjected to severe criticisms on the mode adopted. Steadi- 
ness of purpose, and perseverance, have, however, triumphed over 
obstacles which, at times, seemed unsurmountable, so that now, a hedge 
encloses the grounds, that is generally admitted to be a beautiful ornament 
and a secure protection against man and beast. 

The hedge more recently planted along the Railroad, and that on the 
south side of the road, in front of the Cemetery, have been trained some- 
what differently, and on a better plan than the first. These are in a most 
perfect condition, though not fully grown to the requisite height. 

Although it is doubtless true, that more time has been consumed in per- 
fecting this hedge, (and this, too, at an increased cost) for want of that 
experimental knowledge gained in the process of planting and training, 
than would now be necessary for a similar one, yet it has cost far less 
than either of the other modes of inclosure, and it is certainly much 
more appropriate for such a place, and believed to be a better protection. 

Having thus briefly stated the rise and progress, with the present con- 
dition of the hedging in and around this beautiful resting place of those 
who have ceased from their labors on earth, your committee considers it 
a proper time to ask the Board for a fall and careful examination of it, 
and an expression of their opinions on the same : That this opinion be 
made a matter of record on the minutes, and that your committee be 
released from the further special care of the hedge, by placing the same 
under the care of the Landscape Gardener. 

All of which is respectfully submitted. 

A. H. ERNST, 

Committee, 

In compliance with the above request, the Board met upon the ground, 
examined carefully the hedging, and highly approved of it in its present 
state, and unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Ernst, for his faith- 
ful discharge of his duties as a committee. They also acceded to his 
wish, that the hedge be placed under the charge of the Landscape Gar- 
dener, with a request that Mr. Ernst will continue a general supervision 

of the same.

Office of the Cemetery of Spring Grove. » 
Cincinnati, July 31, 1857. j 

Messrs. Buchanan, Foote and Kesor, Publishing Committee : 

Having had a number of enquiries from towns in our own County, 
from the interior of the State, and from other States, not only in regard 
to the rules and regulations of the Cemetery, but in reference to the 
manner of keeping the books, and for the forms of our books and blanks, 
and time not having permitted me to answer these questions, even to 
my own satisfaction ; I now propose to give the forms of the blanks and 
the headings of the principal books, together with such remarks and 
examples as will more fully answer the enquiries, and be the means, per- 
haps, of facilitating others that are starting Rural Cemeteries, in sys- 
tematizing their plans. 

C. DAVENPORT, 

Secretary. 



VAULT BOOK AND VAULT PERMIT. 

Many persons, that have family lots, deposit their dead during the 
winter, in the Cemetery Vault, where they remain till spring ; others do 
the same at all seasons, where they remain for a few days, for the arri- 
val of friends, or for the selection of a lot. All that are deposited in 
the Vault, have their names recorded in the " Vault Book." 

On page 60 is the form of the Vault Book, with the headings printed, 
and ruled columns one half the width of those in the original book. It 
represents two pages, and the double lines the division between them. 
8 



[58] 

On application for a Permit to the vault, tlte entry is made in the Vault 

Book, as the example of January 2d. 

The spaces left blank in the first example, are not filled till application 
is made for an interment Permit. 

After the entry is made in the Vault Book, a Permit is then filled out 

and delivered to the applicant, which is taken to the Cemetery by the 

Undertaker, or by some one with the funeral procession, and delivered 

to the Superintendent. 



INTEEMENT PERMITS, PERMIT BOOK, AND STATISTICS. 



When an interment is to be made, application must be made to the 
Secretary ; and the applicant is expected to give the information neces- 
sary to fill the following Blank Statistics : 



CEMETERY OF SPRING GROVE. Statistics. No- 
Name of Deceased, 

Place of Nativity,

Date of Birth, 

Date of Decease, 

Date of Interment, 

Disease, 

Parents' Names, 

In whose Lot Interred, Sec. Lot. . . . 

Name of Undertaker, 

Removed from 

Permit obtained bv 



[50] 



The Secretary then makes out an Interment Permit, (See the form on 
page 62.) The blank before the word Grave in the Permit is filled 
with "plain" or " brick. " If a plain grave is wanted, the length only 
of the coffin (or box, if the coffin is enclosed in one,) is required ; but 
if the grave is to be a brick one, then all the dimensions are necessary. 
The blank lines below the date for interment are usually filled with direc- 
tions, as to the location of the grave on the lot. The Permit is sent by 
a messenger to the Superintendent at the Cemetery, and the grave is 
made ready by the day and hour specified. 

The entry on the Permit Book is made from the Statistics. For form 
of Permit Book see page 58. 

On each Monday morning the Permits are all returned by the Super- 
intendent to the Secretary, accompanied by a Report containing the 
names, together with the date, number of Section and Lot, of all the 
interments made during the week ending the previous Saturday. 

The Statistics are now compared with the Superintendent's Report, and 
recorded in the most important book of the Cemetery, the "Record of 
Interments," which see on page 63.

Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, 
that from the time this act shall take effect, William Neff, David Lor- 
ing, R. Buchanan, Thomas H. Minor, John C. Wright, A. Harkness, 
Peter Neff, Timothy Walker, Dan'l H. Horne, John Bailey, and 
[here follow all the names of the subscribers to the Cemetery grounds,] 
and their associates and successors, be, and they are hereby, constituted 
a body corporate, under the name of " The Proprietors of the Cemetery 
of Spring Grove," by which they shall have power to contract and be 
contracted with, sue and be sued, have and use a corporate seal, make 
and alter by-laws, and do all other acts and things necessary and proper 
for effecting the object of their incorporation, which is to provide a place 
of repose for the dead. 

Sec 2. Any person may become a member of this corporation by 
becoming the owner of one or more Cemetery lots, as the same shall be 
laid off by the Board of Directors, and the ownership of a lot shall enti- 
tle the owner or owners thereof to one vote at all meetings ; but no mem- 
ber shall have more than one vote. 

Sec. 3. The affairs of this corporation shall be managed by a Board of 
Directors, consisting of nine persons, members of the corporation, to be 
elected by ballot, and receive a majority of the votes. The first election 
shall be held at a time and place to be designated by the first ten persons 
above specifically named as corporators, who shall be commissioners for 
organizing the corporation ; of which election the same notice shall be 
given as is herein provided for other elections, and every person who 
shall have subscribed and paid for a lot, shall be entitled to a vote at this 
election. Immediately after the first election, the Board shall be divided 
by lot, into three classes, consisting of three each. The first class shall 
hold their office until the next annual meeting thereafter ; the second 
class, a year longer than the first ; and the third class, a year longer than

;UNIT7 



[65 ] 

the second ; so that at each annual meeting after the first election, there 
shall be three Directors chosen, to serve for three years, and all vacancies 
previously existing shall be supplied. But in case of failure to elect, 
those Directors previously in office shall hold over until their successors 
are elected, and in case of a vacancy occurring between any two annual 
meetings, the Board shall have power to fill such vacancy until the next 
annual meeting. A quorum of the Board for all purposes shall be five 
persons. 

Sec 4. The annual meeting for the election of Directors shall be 
held on the first Monday of October in each year. But special meetings 
may be called by the President, at the request, in writing, of ten mem- 
bers ; of which, as well as of the annual meetings, ten daj 7 s' notice shall 
be given by advertisement, in at least two of the daily papers published 
in the city of Cincinnati. 

Sec. 5. The Board of Directors shall, at their first meeting after each 
annual election, elect by ballot a President from their own body, and two 
persons from the members of the corporation, to act as Secretary and 
Treasurer. These officers shall hold their office for one year, and until 
their successors shall be appointed and qualified ; and the Treasurer shall 
give bond, with surety to be approved by the Board, in such sum as the 
by-laws shall direct, for the faithful performance of his duties. 

Sec. 6. This corporation is authorized to purchase, or take by gift or 
devise, and hold land exempt from execution and from any appropriation 
to public purposes, for the sole purpose of a Cemetery, not exceeding 
three hundred acres ; one hundred and sixty-seven acres of which, such 
as shall be designated by the Directors, shall be exempt from taxation, 
and the remainder shall be taxed as other lands, until the Legislature shall 
otherwise direct. After paying for such land, all future receipts, whether 
from the sale of lots, from donations, or otherwise, shall be applied 
exclusively, under the direction of the Board, to laying out, preserving, 
protecting, and embellishing the Cemetery, and the avenues leading 
thereto ; and to paying the necessary expenses of the corporation. No 
debts shall be contracted in anticipation of future receipts^ except for 
originally laying out, enclosing, and embellishing the grounds and aven- 
ues, for which a debt, or debts may be contracted, not exceeding Five 
Thousand Dollars in the whole, to be paid out of future receipts ; and no 
lots shall be sold by the Corporation on credit, but the Board of Direc- 
tors shall have power to appropriate lots for the interment of such meri- 
torious persons, not members, as they may see proper. 
9 



L 66 1 

Sec. 7. The original conveyance of lots from the Corporation to indi- 
viduals, shall be evidenced by a certificate, signed by the President, and 
countersigned by the Secretary, under the seal of the Corporation, speci- 
fying that such a person is the owner of such a lot ; and such certificate 
shall vest in the proprietor, his heirs, and assigns, a right in fee simple to 
such lot, exempt from execution, attachment, taxation, or any other 
claim, lien or process whatever, for the sole purpose of interment, under 
the regulations of the Corporation ; and said certificates shall have the 
same force and effect as deeds duly executed in other cases, and may be 
recorded and certified. Copies thereof shall be evidence, as in other 
cases, and said lots, or such portions thereof as may be prescribed by the 
Board of Directors, and with their assent, may be conveyed by deed in 
due form of law, for the sole purpose of interment as aforesaid, but no 
original certificate shall be granted to any person who does not produce a 
receipt from the Treasurer that he has paid for his lot, in full ; nor shall 
any person be the proprietor of more than three lots at the same time, 
unless by the unanimous consent of the Directors. 

Sec. 8. For the purpose of convenient selection and description, the 
Board of Directors shall cause a plat to be made of the lots to be dis- 
posed of for interment, designating such lots by consecutive numbers, 
which plat shall be recorded on the books of the Corporation. The orig- 
inal choice of lots between those who shall have subscribed and paid for 
them prior to the time of making the selection, shall be determined by 
lot, in such manner as the Board of Directors shall prescribe. And after 
the original selectiou shall have thus been determined, before [future] 
purchasers may select from the lots not previously appropriated. 

Sec. 9. The Board of Directors shall have power to enclose, improve 
and adorn the grounds and avenues, and to erect buildings for the general 
use of the Corporation, and to prescribe rules for enclosing, adorning 
and erecting monuments in the Cemetery lots ; and to prohibit any use, 
division, improvement, or adornment of a lot, which they may deem im- 
proper. And they shall make report of their doings to each annual 
meeting of the Corporation. 

Sec. 10. Any person who shall wilfully destroy, mutilate, deface, 
injure or remove, any tomb, monument, or grave-stone, or other struc- 
ture, placed in the Cemetery aforesaid, or any fence, railing, or other 
work for the protection or ornament of the said Cemetery, or of any 
tomb, monument, or grave-stone, or other structure aforesaid, or any 
Cemetery lot within the Cemetery aforesaid, or shall wilfully destroy, 
cut, break or injure any tree, shrub, or plant, within the limits of said

Cemetery, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon con- 
viction thereof, before any Court of competent jurisdiction, be punished 
by a fine of not less than five dollars, or more than five hundred dollars, 
and by imprisonment in the county jail for a term of not less than one, 
nor more than thirty (30) days, according to the nature and aggravation 
of the offense, and such offender shall also be liable, in an action of 
trespass in the name of the said Corporation, to pay all such damages as 
have been occasioned by his unlawful act or acts ; -which money, when 
recovered, shall be applied by the said Corporation, under the direction 
of the Board of Directors, to the reparation and restoration of the pro- 
perty destroyed or injured as above; and members of said Corporation 
shall be competent witnesses in said suits. 

Sec. 11. This Act shall be regarded as a public Act, and shall take 
effect from and after its passage.

CONSECRATION OF THE CEMETERY. 



On the 28th of August, 1845, the Cemetery of Spring Grove was 
publicly consecrated to the exclusive purpose of the burial of the dead ; 
a d the proceedings on that occasion included the following Prayer, 
H 'mn, Ode and Address. 



ORDER OF CEREMONIES 



OPENING PRAYER.— By Rev. Dr. Brooke. 

Almighty and ever-living God ! We desire most reverently to invoke 
thy presence and favor on this interesting occasion. We believe it to 
be consistent with thy holy will, and the example of thy saints of old, 
that fit places should be set apart for the entombment of our mortal 
bodies. Thou requirest that "all things be done decently and in 
order," and that "in everything, we should by prayer and supplication, 
make known our request unto thee with thanksgiving." In conformity 
with these instructions of thy holy word, we now bow our spirits before 
thy throne. 

As the God of Nature, we thank thee for all the natural beauties and 
advantages of this place. As the God of Providence, we thank thee that 
thou hast put it into the hearts of our citizens to procure and improve 
it — and most of all would we remember thee at this time as the God 
of Grace, and thank thee for the unspeakable gift of thy Son, through 
whose efficacious death* and mighty resurrection, we may triumphantly 
exclaim, "0! Death, where is thy sting! 0! Grave, where is thy 
victory !" 

And wilt thou now, Lord ! accept and bless the dedication which 
is about to be made of this place, to the solemn and interesting purpose 
for which it has been procured. Wilt thou take it under thy providen- 
tial care — preserve it from all profane and ungodly uses — and bless all 
its solemn scenes and associations, to the welfare of souls. May every 



[70] 

tomb and monument erected here, prove a silent preacher of righteous- 
ness to the living. May every family vault and enclosure remind them 
of the adopted family of God, and the supreme importance of seeking 
a home in the skies. May every tear dropped upon this soil — and 
every sigh wafted over it, be connected with that godly sorrow which 
worketh repentance unto life. And may all who have an interest in 
this resting-place of the mortal body, make sure of an interest in that 
rest of the immortal soul, which "remaineth unto the people of God." 

Heavenly Father ! Let all funeral rites and offices which may, from 
time to time, be performed in this place, redound to thy glory. Let 
every prayer offered here be acceptable incense — every hymn be sung 
with the spirit and the understanding also — and every exhortation be 
heard with the hearing ear. And finally, in the latter day, when the 
last trump shall sound to wake up the dead, may all who shall be sleep- 
ing within this enclosure, rise to the life immortal — and be of those to 
whom the Son of Man will say, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, 
inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the 
world.' , 

Let thy blessing rest upon the further exercies of this occasion. Be 
with those who are to engage in them. May every sentiment and word 
which they shall utter, be pure in thy sight ; and may they be instru- 
mental in impressing every attending mind, with solemn, holy, and 
wholesome thoughts. And to thy great name, Father, Son, and Holy 
Ghost, shall be ascribed all the praise — now and for ever. — Amen !

Consecration Hymn, 



BY WM. D. GALLAGHER. 



Air — Pilgrim Fathers. 

Maker of all above ! 

Father of all below ! 
As now we meet, thy 'chosen ' met 

Thousands of years ago. 

Sojourners, like ourselves, 

On earth, for a brief space. 
They sought the grove, and hallowed it 

As their last resting place.* 

And kindred feelings yet 
Thy children's bosom sway ; 

And oft they meet, as we have met 
Within these shades to day : — 

The cool groves rising round, 
The slopes beneath them spread, 

We consecrate, with awe profound, 
Forever to the dead. 

The Hebrew's latest sigh, 
'Mid being's parting moans, 

Was, that his aged form might lie 
With his forefathers' bones. f 

So when we've breathed our last, 

Here may our burial be, 
To wait with kindred dead, the blast 

That summons us to thee. 

Thy smile is on us, God ! 

From the beautiful blue skies 
It looks, and from the fresh green sod 

That all around us lies. 

Oh, when the hour shall come 
Earth's scenes no more we know, 

Smile thus upon our hearts, as clown 
To the dark grave we go ! 

Thy voice is with us here, 

'Mid the silence and the shade, 

Where oft the Mourner's bitterest tear 
Must fall upon the glade. 

But it speaks not of despair — 

It bids us look above, 
At the Bow of Promise spanning there 

The whole broad Heaven of love.

Ode 



BY LEWIS J. CIST 



When from the Garden of the Lord, 

The parent of our race was driven, 
Then bare he forth this solemn word, 

The sentence of Avenging Heaven — 
Of his offence the fruit — 'twas said, 

In sweat and toil thou still shalt mourn, 
Till to that dust, of which first made. 

Thv kindred body shall return !" 

Long ages since have passed away, 

But that stern sentence, spoken first 
To Adam, in Earth's primal day, 

Yet stands — its fiat unreversed ! 
To all his race (exempt no part,) 

The mandate high doth still remain ; 
"From dust first made — of dust thou art, 

And to it shalt thou turn again ! " 

And thus to toil and suffering born, 

Fulfils our race its destiny ; 
Still the primeval curse we mourn — 

To live — to labor — and to die ! 
Yet as from Eden's peaceful shades, 

Reluctant wandered man first forth— 
So longs he still, in Eden's glades 

To moulder back to native Earth ! 

To use thus holy, dedicate, 

"We set apart this hallowed space — 
This sacred spot now consecrate. 

To us and ours a resting place : 
And thus, upon this holy ground, 

While near yon City rears its head, 
Another City do we found — 

A quiet City of the Dead ! 

Not with the bustling noise and din, 

With which our living homes we rear, 
To-day are we assembled in 

This sacred place, to feeling dsar : 
For is it not a hallowed spot — 

This place, where we shall ask to lie 
With those we love ? — Oh ! is it not 

The holiest spot beneath the sky I 




JP.WALRERS

Here where swells yon blue sky above, 

And spreads this rich green sward beneath, 
We set apart for those we lore, 

A fit abode in gentle death ; 
That not, as with the saddened gloom 

Of cloistered cell, and time-worn towers, 
We'd link the memories of the tomb — 

But with the sunshine and the flowers I 

Here gentle Beauty shall they bring, 

Whose resting place we thus prepare, 
Where softest murmuring winds shall sing 

Meet requiem o'er form so fair : 
Here, too — when Manhood's breast shall yearn 

His wanderings o'er the earth to close — 
His footsteps hither shall he turn 

To seek a last, sweet, calm repose ! 

Here shall the Warrior calmly rest, 

When conquering Death hath captive bound him, 
Whose step the earth once proudly pressed, 

With all his marshalled hosts around him : 
And here the Poet, whose high lays 

Of noble deeds have sung the stoiy, 
Shall sleep, forgetful of the praise 

That once was his proudest glory ! 

Why should the memories of the dead 

Be ever those of gloom and sadness ? — 
Why should their dwellings not be made 

'Mid scenes of light, and life, and gladness ? 
Here let the young and gay repair, 

And in this scene of light and beauty, 
Gather from Earth, and Sky, and Air, 

Lessons of Life, and Love, and Duty ! 

And here at many a dewy morn, 

Or calm and holy eventide, 
Affection's quiet steps shall turn, 

And o'er each loved form softly glide — 
Whose gentle shade, still hovering near, 

The trembling mourner may accost ; 
And from each leafy tree -top hear 

The voices of " the Loved and Lost !"

Address. 



BY THE HON. JOHN M'LEAN 



" I am a stranger and a sojourner with you : give me a possession of a 
burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight." 

These are the words of Abraham to the children of Heth. They were 
spoken on a mournful occasion — the death of Sarah. " And Abraham 
came to her tent to mourn and to weep for her: and for four. hundred 
shekels of silver he purchased the field of Ephron and the trees that were 
thereon, and the cave of Macpelah, which was at the end of the field, for 
a burying place." 

Sarah was among the loveliest of her sex. She filled the heart of the 
patriarch : and yet, when dead, he desired that she might be buried out 
of his sight. That visage, so remarkable for its beauty, had become 
marred by death ; and that form so lovely, was cold and lifeless. 

Who in this large assembly has not felt the sorrows of Abraham ? 
Whose heart has not, like his, been wrung with grief at the loss of those 
dearer to him than life ? 

Our assemblage here, this day, shows that we think seriously of death, 
and of the "house prepared for all living." We have come to conse- 
crate that house : to look over the place where the open grave shall soon 
receive us. This is the destiny of man. The grave is the end of his 
earthly hopes ; of his joys and sorrows ; his ambition, his worldly glory. 

In all ages of the world, the living have felt solicitude about the place 
of their interment. On his dying bed, the patriarch Jacob said to his 
children, "bury me not in Egypt, but with my fathers in the cave, of 
Macpelah, that is in the field of Ephron. There they buried Abraham 
and Sarah his wife ; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife ; and 
there I buried Leah." And Joseph, when dying in Egypt, "took an 
oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye

[ 75] 

shall carry up my bones from hence." Who could desire to die amongst 
strangers and be buried in a strange land ? There is no consolation in 
the impression, that the place of our interment shall be neither known 
nor cared for by any one. There seems to be society even in the grave. 
We cannot but cherish the hope that, when dead, we shall have the sym- 
pathies of the living. We could desire them to visit our graves, and to 
spread over and about them some memorials of their affection. It would 
now almost seem that the body, dust as it is, could scarcely be insensible 
to such pious remembrances of our friends. And the deathless spirit, 
unclogged by matter, we are ready to believe, sees and knows, with its 
quickened energies and enlarged powers, things on earth and in Heaven. 

The reflection is consolatory on the bed of death, that our dust shall 
mingle with the dust of our friends. That the bodies shall be nearest 
each other in the grave, which were dearest to each other in life. That 
this is the feeling of our nature, all history attests. It is found in all 
countries, civilized and uncivilized. The barbarous nations of antiquity 
had high places for their sacrifices, and the burial of their dead. In 
more advanced civilization, the sepulchre was ornamented by works of art 
and nature. This impulse of the heart was not learned in the schools. 
[t pervades all bosoms, in all ages and countries. 

A burial ground, unfenced and unprotected, presents a cheerless and 
sad spectacle. It would seem that the dead who lie in such a place, had 
been strangely forgotten by the living. I envy the heart of no man, who 
can be content to see the remains of a beloved friend thus exposed and 
neglected. That philosophy is cold and repulsive, which teaches us that 
the body, being an insensible mass of matter, may be covered from our 
sight with little care or ceremony, and thought of no more. 

When our friends are gone, we love to think and speak of their vir- 
tues. We cannot bear to lose a vivid impression of their form, their 
countenance, and manner. Nothing can be more chilling to the soul than 
the thought, that we should ever forget or neglect them. The dead body, 
it it true, is insensible of our cares for it. We may plant the jessamine 
in the clay that covers it, or construct over it a marble monument, or 
neglect it altogether, and it is all alike to that body. But in that grave 
reposes one, that when living, we cherished and loved. One who shared 
in our joys and sorrows : who watched over our sick bed with prayers 
and tears. Can the remains of such an one be neglected ? Never, 
surely never, until the pulsations of the heart shall cease. We cling to 
every memorial that is left us, with an unceasing devotion ; and we 



[76] 

regard the spot where the remains of such an one lie, as sacred above all 
other places. 

Amongst the most ancient nations, the custom prevailed of selecting 
suitable places for general interment. The burial ground of the ancient 
Egyptians was situated beyond the lake of Acherusia, which signified 
the last condition of man. Those only whose lives had been exemplary, 
were admitted to sepulture in that place. "The Cemetery was a large 
plain, surrounded by trees, and intersected by canals, to which was given 
the appellation Elisicens, meaning rest." From the name of this Ceme- 
tery, the approaches to it, and the rejection and deposit of the unworthy, 
originated the Greek fables of the Lake Acheron, Charon, his boat, his 
ferry money, and the Elysian fields. 

The ancient Germans buried their dead in groves consecrated by their 
priests. The Romans, in the earliest times, buried their dead in public 
places. In the nourishing periods of the Republic, afterwards, they 
burned the dead body and buried its ashes in an urn. This practice was 
changed, and after the introduction of Christianity, chapels were erected 
over the dead. " The early Christian martyrs were buried in caverns, 
which, by degrees, were enlarged to spacious vaults, that were called 
chambers of repose. The Emperor Constantine directed his sepulchre to 
be erected in the Church of the Apostles at Constantinople, of which he 
was the founder. This influenced the Bishops and others to have their 
remains deposited in the vaults of churches ; but this practice was 
found inconvenient and unhealthy to the living, and was necessarily 
abandoned. The Cemetery in Naples, near Bologna, at Pisa, is distin- 
guished for the beauty of its form and architecture. It is four hundred 
and ninety feet long, one hundred and seventy wide, and sixty feet high ; 
cloistered round the four sides, and contains fifty ship-loads of earth 
which the Pisans brought from Jerusalem. 

The Greeks constructed their tombs outside the walls of their cities, 
with the exception of those raised to distinguished personages. This was 
also the practice of the Romans. Mrs. Gray's tour to the supulchres of 
Etruria, is full of interest. The Moravian brothers form their burial 
place into a garden, and call it " friedhof, or field of peace." In some 
parts of Germany, every grave is covered with a bed of flowers, which 
the relations of the deceased water from a fountain dug for the purpose. 
The Turks beautify and adorn their places of burial, by winding avenues 
and the shades of the cypress. 

The Pere la Chaise of Paris, where the dead of many generations 
repose, is, perhaps, the most interesting object to be seen in that great 



[77 j 

>ity. The simplicity and mournful aspect of its monuments, the variety 
md beauty of its flowers, its serpentine walks and beautiful shrubbery, 
its chapel and other improvements, draw hundreds of daily visitors. In 
Ingland, of late years, public attention has been directed to the con- 
struction of Cemeteries, and many have been established. And in our 
>wn country, Mount Auburn, Greenwood, and other places, consecrated 
the generations that are passing away, create a deep interest in all who 
r isit them. 
This rapid and imperfect sketch shows the working of the human 
tind on this solemn and impressive subject. We seldom see a house 
levoted to the worship of God in our own country, which has not in its 
leighborhood, and often in the same enclosure, a repository for the dead, 
iut these are more or less neglected. In their plan they are too con- 
tracted, and there is a want of that system, accommodation, and taste, 
juited to the solemnity of such places. 

In the selection of the ground for this Cemetery, no pains have been 
spared. It is recommended by its sequestered and beautifully elevated 
and undulating position ; by the aged forest which covers it, and the dry 
and sandy quality of its soil. This home of the dead should be conse- 
crated and adorned by the symbols of mourning, combined with those of 
hope. Nature, in all her luxuriance, should be here preserved, and so 
cultivated as to expand her wildest beauties. These trees should be pro- 
tected, and the lesser forest growths that we see ; the grape vine and the 
wild flower, in all their variety, should be nurtured and preserved. 

The monuments may be left to the taste, the affection, and the piety of 
bereaved friends. But all ostentation should be avoided. Simplicity 
is the language of nature, and best comports with the resting place of the 
dead. Avenues are necessary, and some have already been constructed 
for carriage ways, but they should not be too much multiplied. The 
more private walks should be serpentine, and so made, that the trees, 
the shrubs and the vines, shall cover the solemn foot-steps of the stricken 
in heart. The ground should be surrounded by a wall, or fence, which 
cannot easily be crossed — and on certain days no visitors should be 
admitted except those who have an interest in the ground, and come to 
mourn and weep over the graves of the departed. Thus prepared, this 
beautiful and appropriate ground will become a place of general resort, 
and of great moral improvement, 

There is no language which reaches the heart with such power and 
effect as that which proceeds from the graves of those we loved. No 
unhallowed curiosity could enter so sacred a place as this shall become, 



[78] 

No heart can look upon it and be unmoved. The visitor will feel that he 
is in the territory of death. Nature within it may wear a cheerful aspect, 
and the songsters of the wood may be heard; but the memorials of the 
grave will be present whichever way the eye shall be turned, and this 
will sadden the heart. It cannot but lead to the following deep and sol- 
emn reflection : Here is the end of mortality. In a short time, I too, 
must become a co-tenant in this domain, and visitors will look upon my 
grave as I now look upon the graves of others. How such an assur- 
ance must chasten the heart. If this indeed be so, why should I cherish 
an unholy ambition for fame, or seek to accumulate wealth by doubtful 
means ? Why should I endeavor by injustice to enrich myself at the ex- 
pense of my neighbor, seeing the time of enjoyment is so short, and 
the end of my career is so certain ? I see it, and I feel it. This voice 
from the tomb reaches my heart ? 

But there is something beyond what I see. This territory lies on the 
confines of eternity. It can scarcely be said to belong to earth. The. 
dead inhabit it. But their spirits are not in these graves. They live in 
eternity ; — that changeless state of existence, which lies but a step beyond 
the ground on which I now stand. Many of these bodies rest in hope of 
a blissful immortality ; but others may have no such hope. 

No one could enter upon this ground, consecrated as it is, and improved 
as it will be in years to come, and not indulge in a train of reflection 
somewhat similar to this. And under such circumstances, no one could 
leave this place without being made better than when he entered it. Such 
will be the moral effect of the consecration and improvement of this place. 
And I now — in the presence of you all — Dedicate this Ground — not to 
the living — but to the Dead ! The trust shall endure, until time shall 
be no longer. 

This will indeed be the place of tears, and of many sorrows. It is 
now consecrated as such. How solemn is this moment ! — how impres- 
sive ! Many a Rachel will here mourn, and refuse to be comforted. 
Could I see and portray in the line of centuries, the broken hearted, who 
shall come here to give utterance to their sighs and their prayers, it would 
present an accumulation of sorrow too heavy to be borne. But, thanks 
be to God ? we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. Well did the 
great Apostle of the Gentiles say, "If in this life only we have hope in 
Christ, of all men we are the most miserable." There is hope in the 
grave. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; 
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 
and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 







FAMILY M03STUMENT OF JOSEPH PfERCE 



[79] 

and this mortal must put on immortality. Then shall death be swallowed 
up in victory." 

And is this destiny ours ! — It is. That voice which came down from 
Heaven has so declared, and we believe it. Wonderful, surpassingly 
wonderful, revelation ! Our life, though it be but a span, and may be 
full of trouble, yet it leads to this great destiny. In this view, how noble 
is man ! He lives forever ! What are the factitious distinctions of earth 
in comparison with this ! What the rank and power of the mightiest 
potentate, the greatest warrior, the wisest statesman, the most eloquent 
orator ! How insignificant all those great and rare qualities which sway 
senates and empires ; which explore the boundaries of human knowledge, 
and teach us the deep things of nature! Ail these are lighter than air, 
when weighed against the mighty, the overwhelming fact of man's 
immortality. 

The good man may, like Abraham, weep and mourn the loss of beloved 
friends, but he does not despond. He has hope in their death. He fol- 
lows them beyond the grave, and he looks to a re-union in Heaven. He 
can view the memorials of the dead with sorrow, as connected with the 
past, and with resignation and hope as regards the future. He is 
instructed and consoled. He will find these lonely walks favored above 
the common walks of life. They will teach the truest wisdom. Here he 
will learn what he is, whither he is going, and the vanity of all things 
earthly. 

Had the grave never been penetrated by hope ; if the empire of dark- 
ness covered all beyond it, and there was no eternity for man, the ap- 
proach of that endless, starless, moonless night, would fill us with wild- 
ness and shudderings of despair. In the language of desperation, we 
should say to our Creator, why hast thou formed and fashioned us as we 
are ? Why hast thou made this beautiful and sublime garniture of the 
universe ? — these numberless systems which perform their revolutions 
through infinite space ? Why enable us to calculate their courses and 
revolutions, and to understand the laws of nature ? Why this capacity for 
knowledge, this mental power, this reach of thought — and why — 0, why ! 
this longing for immortality ? Why all this, if we open our eyes for a 
few days at most, to gaze upon the wonderful scene, and then close them 
forever ? But, blessed be God, life and immortality are brought to light 
by the Gospel. " We see in part, and we know in part; but the time 
will come when we shall see as we are seen, and know as we are known." 
Under such a glorious prospect it becomes us to meet with proper for- 
titude, those events which are incident to our being, and which cannot 



1.80] 

be avoided. We endure affliction, knowing it is good to be afflicted. 
And we are assured that suffering here, is no evidence of the displeasure 
of Heaven. He chastens those whom he loves. We then take courage 
and bear ourselves firmly under the ills of life. That which may mar our 
present peace, and threaten to destroy it, may be a blessing in disguise. 
A voice from the grave may be necessary, to show us our danger and 
duty. However mixed the cup may be, we must drink it, and learn sub- 
mission. 

History is said to teach by example ; but there are no events so im- 
pressively taught, as when we call them to remembrance, standing at the 
grave of the actor. His race is run. His character, for good or for 
evil, is now fixed and unalterable. If distinguished for eminent public 
services, in the field or in the senate, as a statesman, jurist, or orator, we 
are reminded of these high qualities whilst we gaze upon his tomb. And 
we feel an earnest desire to emulate his virtues and avoid his vices. Such 
incidents contribute largely to the formation of character. They 
awaken within us a mighty impulse for action, and from the grave, this 
impulse can only tend to a virtuous course of action. Who could stand 
at the grave of Washington, and not love his country, and desire to imi- 
tate the virtues of its most honored son ? 

Within a century to come, what diversity of character will meet within 
this field of death ! Here may be interred the mighty dead, who, in life, 
made a deep and lasting impression on the age in which they lived — who 
lived more for the world and their country, than themselves. These be- 
ing honored in life, will be honored in death, by the grateful sense of 
their country. And every one who passes by will pause to read the 
inscriptions on their tombs. A great majority will not be thus known to 
fame. But they will not be the less dear to their kindred and friends, 
who will cherish a remembrance of their virtues. Humble many of them 
may have been in the circles of life, but their ashes will rest in peace : 
and the triumph of a dying hour, as recorded on their grave stones, will 
carry conviction to many a heart. And here and there will be found an 
inscription, on the grave of one who called sinners to repentance, and 
who has gone to his reward. Here, too, the widow will find a sepulture ; 
and, also, the heart-broken and disconsolate one, who may have borne up 
against the tide of adversity, until nature became exhausted and death 
was welcomed as a deliverer. The rich and the poor — all ranks and con- 
ditions, will here find a resting place. Here all will occupy the same 
level. There are no distinctions in the grave. Death is the great level- 
ler of mankind. Artificial grades, or positions in society, do not attract 



[81] 

his notice, much less his respect. His decrees are inexorable and unap- 
pealable. 

Standing at the goal of human probation, it may be fit to pause, and 
consider the career that, here closes. It is short, but it is full of inci- 
dents. However diversified are the pursuits, the professions and condi- 
tions of men ; they are all characterized by a restless anxiety and fond- 
ness of change. And this is as clearly indicated in the humblest walks 
of life, as in the highest. There is always an object to be obtained, 
which, in the prospective, promises much enjoyment, but in the posses- 
sion gives but little. The mind is again in pursuit of a future good, with 
as sanguine hopes, as if another disappointment were impossible. It, 
however, comes as before: and again, other objects are pursued with un- 
abated confidence. This is the history of our species. All are deluded 
by the anticipation, and disappointed in the enjoyment, but the pursuit is 
unceasing. 

The day laborer has his object in view, the possession of which is, to 
add to his comfort and happiness, and the comfort and happiness of his 
family. It may be articles of food, of clothing, or some other thing for 
domestic use. This would be a small object in the estimation of others, 
but it is a matter of importance to him. The same principle operates 
upon the man who struggles for the ascendency, in any of the great lines 
of human action. His hopes are ardently enlisted, and he desires this or 
that position or object, to consummate his happiness. His aspirations 
are the same, except in degree, as those of the day laborer. They are, 
in fact, both day laborers. Alike in their pursuits, they are alike in their 
disappointments. During this action, time moves onward with a steady 
and an unchanging progress. Day and night succeed each other, and so 
do weeks, and months, and years. Aud during all this hurry and tur- 
moil, we are strangely prone to forget that we are mortal. Death, which 
is ever approaching us from the first breath we draw, is seldom anticipa- 
ted. This, to a rational being, would seem to be impossible ; but it is 
true. Death, which should seldom be out of our thoughts, seems 
scarcely ever to be in them. We endeavor to cover it from our view, by 
a thousand interesting objects, which attach us more strongly to life. Our 
friends fall on the right hand and on the left, and yet we think ourselves 
secure. We fortify this belief by many reasons, every one of which is 
fallacious. But death must come at last, whether we are prepared for it 
or unprepared. 

It is here, at the end of this career, and here only, that we can make a 
just estimate of life. When an individual starts in this race, everything 
11 



[82 ] 






before him has a pleasing and satisfying aspect. The way is gilded by 
all the beauties of nature, and all the pleasures of hope. No clouds, nor 
darkness rest on the future. But at every step, he finds the object of his 
pursuit eludes his grasp, or brings with its possession disappointment. 
And thus he toils onward, seeking enjoyment from the world, and find- 
ing none that fills his hopes, until he is in the vale of life. And havino- 
come to the close of life's journey, he is brought to contemplate the place 
set apart for his last home. A grave is now all that the world can give him. 

From this point in his history, he looks back on the past, and how 
changed is the picture ! The gilded scene has vanished. Its beauty and 
satisfying nature disappeared as it was approached. The distance at 
which it was at first viewed, gave a deceptive brilliancy to the prospect. 
But, having realized it, he now knows how to appreciate its value. In 
the world, he has found ingratitude, deceit, and selfishness. Neither 
wealth, nor popularity, nor eminent station, caused that restless principle 
within to be at ease. And, with the wise man, he is ready to say, "van- 
ity of vanities! all is vanity!" And now, on the verge of death, he 
casts a long, troubled, and anxious look beyond the grave. But having 
been engrossed with the scene through which he has passed, down to this 
closing hour of life, he sees nothing cheering in the future. The black- 
ness of darkness rests upon it. And yet he is conscious that that future 
is his, and that it is of an endless duration. All his life long, he has 
been grasping at shadows; and now all before him is substantial and un- 
changing. This new view has broken upon him with the suddenness 
and force of a thunderbolt ! And now there is no time for reflection. 
Death is at hand ! he feels his cold embrace ! 

We should learn instruction from the past, the present, and the future, 
from the lives, the deaths, and the graves of others. The events of this 
day should teach us a lesson, never to be forgotten. They should come 
up in our memory, to influence our conduct. We should think of them 
when we lie down at night, and when we rise up in the morning. Here, 
in this consecrated ground, the dead shall repose until the last hour of re- 
corded time. And many of us shall be among these dead. 

These trees, which have withstood the storms of many years, shall fill 
into decay and disappear, and others which shall succeed them shall also 
fall, and their successors, again and again. Spring, with its fragrant 
and blooming flowers; the deeper and richer foliage of summer ; the yel- 
low leaf of autumn, and the leafless trees of winter, shall here succeed 
each other, the long line of centuries. The cold winds of winter, and the 
refreshing breeze of summer, will pass over this ground and its silent

inhabitants. Nature will move onward, governed by its established laws, 
until that point in the world's history shall be reached, when time shall 
end. And then, at the sound of the trump of the Archangel, the dead 
shall rise from their graves, and both small and great shall come to judg- 
ment. The bodies here deposited shall rise, and mingle in the general 
throno 1 of mortals. The most obscure will not be overlooked; nor will 
the most distinguished on earth escape the scrutiny. Caesar and Lazarus, 
Bonaparte, and the humblest slave, will stand alike before the judge. 
And every one shall be judged, according to the deeds done in the body. 

This scene is too sublime for human conception. It is too mighty ! 
The history of the world here closes. The final destiny of all who have 
lived upon it, is pronounced. God, our Creator, is the judge. For the 
first time, the incorruptible body opens its eyes upon eternity. And who 
can comprehend eternity ! We can onl} r measure duration by the pro- 
gress of time. But time is no longer ! Its vicissitudes are closed for- 
ever. All things are ended that have an end — all things that remain, 
remain forever. There is a progress in happiness, and a progress in 
misery ; but the states of happiness and misery are unchangeable. The 
seal of eternity is impressed upon everything. 

There is no subject which does not sink into nothingness, when com- 
pared to man's probation and final destiny. To close our eyes and hearts 
to this subject, or to pass it over lightly, is no mark of wisdom. It should 
receive the profound attention of every one, as the most absorbing mat- 
ter which can occupy the human mind. It embraces all that is lovely in 
life, and all that is desirable in eternity. All the duties we owe to soci- 
ety, to ourselves, and to our country, are better discharged by a deep and 
practical acquaintance with our obligations to our Creator. This know- 
ledge, properly used, will shed a steady and an increasing light on the 
path of duty. 

If thus armed against the sorrows of life, we shall not shrink from 
death. Whether his mandate shall come at the hour of midnight, or at 
the dawn of morning, we shall receive it with resignation and hope. 

Our last earthly home, we have here selected ; and how small is the 
possession ! — a few feet of ground ! This is all we can occupy, and it is 
all we can claim of earth. But we look for a better inheritance. The 
Savior has sanctified the grave, and broken its chains. He rose from its 
dominion, and we shall rise from its darkness and power. And if we 
shall have filled up the measure of our duty in this life — in these bodies, 
made incorruptible and spiritual, we shall realize a glorious immortality 



[84] 

in Heaven. It is only through the dark and lonely grave, that we can 
hope to attain a bliss so unspeakable and inconceivable. 

This hope should cheer us through the journey of life, whether the 
way shall be smooth or rugged. It should support us under the heaviest 
and deepest calamities to which we are exposed. Under its influence, we 
should view the grave as the opening portal of Heaven. It was the full 
enjoyment of this hope, which enabled Paul to say, in view of martyr- 
dom, "lain now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at 
hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith : Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteous- 
ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day : 
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

GRAVES FOR THE FALLEN BRAVE 



The patriotic defenders in arms of our laws and institutions are en- 
titled to all the honors a grateful country can bestow on its benefactors. 
These honors all pure patriots are ready to bestow, in such forms and 
such measure as may be appropriate for the giver and the receiver. 

The Directors of this Cemetery, desirous, in their corporate capacity, 
to co-operate with their fellow citizens in bearing their testimony of 
gratitude to the defenders of our Country, — that gratitude which now 
springs spontaneous from every lover of freedom, — have granted one 
of the most beautiful and appropriate places in their grounds as a burial 
place for those soldiers who die in defense of our Constitution and laws, 
in battle or otherwise. They confidently hope that a suitable monument 
will there be erected, which will tell the passers-by of those sacrifices 
of life by which our country has been preserved from the desolation 
prepared for it by unprincipled traitors, stimulated by disappointed 
ambition, — "that sin by which the angels fell." A monument erected 
on that site will be the most conspicuous in the Cemetery, and will tell 
the beholders 

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest 
With all their Country's wishes blest. 
# # *■ # 

There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, 
To bless the turf that wraps their clay ; 
And Freedom shall awhile repair 
To dwell a weeping hermit there.

NECROLOGY. 



The founders and consecrators of Spring Grove are passing from 
earth, leaving their bodies to be laid in the beautiful grounds where 
they had selected the places of their last rest. Of some of these, the 
memorial is inscribed on marble and granite; and of some it is proper 
to make mention in our present record. 

J. T. BROOKE. 

At the dedication of the Cemetery the prayer of consecration was by 
the Rev. John T. Brooke, D. D., who, on the 19th day of August, 
1861, obtained the blessing of rest from his labors, and was numbered 
among the dead who die in the Lord. 

After a life of devotion to the service of the Saviour whom he loved, 
he was called from a state of bodily infirmity and suffering, which he 
had long endured with exemplary patience and resignation, to enter 
into the joy of his Lord, as a good and faithful servant who had done 
well with the talents committed to his charge. 

While rector of Christ Church in this city, as well as in other 
churches previously, and subsequent, his unsurpassed eloquence in the 
pulpit attracted the admiration, as the purity and gentleness of his life 
and conversation excited the love and esteem, of all who enjoyed the 
privilege of hearing and knowing him. The purity of his style in the 
pulpit, like that of his life in the fulfillment of secular duties, was an 
example worthy the attention and imitation of those who like him are 
called to the holy vocation of teaching the pure and perfect way, and 
exhibiting it by example as well as by precept. His prayer, which 
solemnized the dedication of the Cemetery, is given on a previous page, 
and those who knew him best and loved him most will fondly fancy 
that the deposit of his mortal body in its sacred soil will be a further 
consecration of this holy ground.

JOHN McLEAN, 

Whose address at the dedication of the Cemetery of Spring Grove is 
given in this volume, became a tenant of the ''City of the Silent" on 
the sixth of April, 1861, having, on the fourth of that month, closed 
a long and useful life, most of which had been devoted to the public 
service of his country. 

In the various offices which he filled, the honor conferred on him by. 
their bestowment was not so great as the honor conferred by him, 
upon those offices, through the purity of heart and strength of mind 
brought into exercise in the fulfillment of the duties they required. The 
vigilant, untiring labors devoted to those duties, lie considered to be 
assumed by the acceptance of the trusts committed to him by his coun- 
try. Of these, one of the highest and most honorable, was that of 
Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, which office he filled 
during the last thirty years of his life. In this office his decisions were 
luminous, intelligent expositions of the laws and principles of justice, on 
which they were founded, being perspicuous in style and marked by 
strong common sense. The loss to our country — to the world — of a 
judge so upright and learned, with a mind acute and powerful in dis- 
cerning the light, and with firmness of purpose in its establishment, is 
peculiarly painful at this period, in which passions and prejudices are 
roused to an extent beyond example, and are powerful for wrong, and 
for the infliction of wide-spread evils on our country. 

ANDREW H. ERNST. 

Among the earliest of the efficient and active promoters of the estab- 
lishment, and the regular progress, of our Cemetery, no one of those 
whose remains now repose in its shade, has contributed more to its suc- 
cess and prosperity than Andrew H. Ernst, by the devotion of his 
time, and of his physical and mental labor to the object of making it — 
what it has already become — the most beautiful among the many rural 
beauties by which Cincinnati is surrounded. His name is entitled to a 
distinguished place among the departed worthies of our association. 

The Ohio Pomological Society, of which he was President, at its last 
session appointed a committee to prepare an eulogy on him, and the 



[88] 

following extract therefrom is interesting as among the various testi- 
monies of his worth : 

"The improvement and tasteful decoration of that ornament and pride 
of our city, the 'Cemetery of Spring Grove,' was an object of his un- 
ceasing cares and labors from the period of its proposal to public con- 
sideration ; and there, amid the beauties of Nature in her loveliest mani- 
festations, we laid his mortal remains — 

"'And bade his gentle spirit rest.' 

" There, beneath the fadeless evergreens and beautiful flowers of the 
varying seasons, is his appropriate resting-place ; and may his memory, 
preserved ever green in our souls, stimulate us to a course of life which 
will beautify and adorn our country, by continually adding to her high- 
est ornament, viz.: Citizens possessing the ornament of a meek and 
quiet spirit, and patriots who shall adorn society by their virtues." 



STATUE OF EGERIA. 



The Statue of Egeria at the fountain, executed by our fellow citizen, 
Baker, in Italy, formerly in the exhibition room of the Western Art 
Union, has been presented to the Association by Walter Gregory, Esq., 
and is erected on the island in the lake. 

A resolution of the Board, expressive of their sense of this liberal and 
tasteful donation, has been unanimourly adopted.

[89] 
THIRTEENTH 

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES, 

TO THE 

LOT OMERS OF THE CEMETERY OF SPRING GROVE, 






Since the last Annual Report many improvements have been made 
on the grounds by the Landscape Gardener, and by individuals on their 
Lots. The Lake has also been completed. About the usual average 
number of Lots have been sold, and a better taste appears to prevail in 
their adornment. 

A very important addition has been made to the Cemetery, by the 
purchase of sixty acres of land on our North line, running up to the 
Graytown road. This makes the whole quantity, including 14 acres 
South of the Hamilton Road, 280 acres. The price paid for this last 
purchase was $450 per acre, and the reserved fund and other funds on 
hand were used in payment. About $4,000 is yet unpaid, but secured 
by the individual notes of the Trustees. 

It can readily be paid from the sales of Lots during the ensuing year, 
without interfering with any ordinary improvements. The reserved 
fund and other funds can soon be replaced from the sales of Lots, and 
the land purchased affords the most ample security for this purpose. 

The sum, when realized, from the sale of three acres, in lots at present 
value, will more than pay for the land ; and that from four acres more, 
will pay for improving the whole addition of sixty acres. This pur- 
chase was not made until after a year's reflection, and a consultation 
with a great number of the Lot owners, all of whom, without hesitation, 
recommended it as prudent and judicious. 

The Reports of the Superintendent and Landscape Gardener, here- 
with presented, afford a detailed statement of the departments under 
their charge — and that of the Secretary, of the financial condition of 
the Cemetery, all of which will be found interesting to the Lot owners, 
and to such other persons in the community as take an interest in this 
public benefaction. 
12 



[90] 

At the last annual meeting the Trustees were directed to have pub- 
lished 2,500 copies of the Proceedings and Statistics of the Association, 
including the last Report, and a list of all the Lot owners. That pub- 
lication has been completed, and is now presented in the small volume 
before you ; each Lot owner is entitled to receive one from the Secre-

FOURTEENTH 

AMUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 



LOT OWNERS OF THE CEMETERY OF SPRING GROVE, 



Office of the Cemetery of Spring Grove,) 
Monday, October 4, 1858. j 

In presenting the fourteenth Annual Report to the Lot owners, the 
Trustees are gratified to be able to state that the improvements on the 
Cemetery grounds for the past year, have been extensive and tasteful ; 
and that its financial condition is prosperous. A considerable expense 
was incurred in grading and gravelling the Winton and Grey town roads, 
on our eastern and northern boundaries, and in planting a hedge on 
these lines of the new purchase. 

Some expense will also have to be incurred in grading and gravelling 
the road from Cumminsville to our Western line, during the present 
autumn, the subscription by property owners on that road being insuffi- 
cient.

The improvements on the grounds, now in progress, are the enlarge- 
ment of the Lake to three times its present size ; and laying off the flat 
land south and east of it, into ornamental sections, with undulating 
surfaces, somewhat similar to those south of the Railroad. These sec- 
tions are to be used at present as nurseries for trees, for the accommo- 
dation of Lot owners, but will hereafter be wanted for interments. 
Sufficient water to supply the Lake, it is believed, will be furnished by 
the springs surrounding it, and those on the new purchase on our 
Northern line. A fall of sixty feet from the latter to the Lake, will 
afford a handsome jet for a fountain. A beautiful sketch of this im- 
provement will be found in the frontispiece of the volume of our pro- 
ceedings, now before you. Complaints have recently been made, of 
infringements of our Rules and Regulations, on the Cemetery grounds. 
The Trustees are gratified to find the Lot owners so watchful and jealous 
of their rights, for it is the best guarantee of vigilance in future. 

The Regulations adopted by the Board, are strict and salutary ; and, 
that no one may be ignorant of them, they are printed on the back of 
the tickets of admission ; and yet, some, our own Lot owners, with 
these tickets in their pockets, have, thoughtlessly no doubt, trangressed 
our rules. Watchmen, with the powers of Deputy Sheriff, attend night 
and day to protect the grounds. The officers and work hands are 
charged with the duty of enforcing good order ; but, owing to the great 
extent of the Cemetery, it is difficult to have a watchful care over every 
part of it at the same time, and irregularities will occasionally occur. 
Now that public attention has been especially directed to this matter, we 
hope to have a better observance of our Regulations hereafter. The 
Association is indebted to Mr. George Selves, for the handsome present 
of a beautiful pair of Swans, imported by him from England, to adorn 
our Lake. 

The Reports of the Landscape Gardener and Superintendent are 
herewith presented — the first contains useful suggestions for the improve- 
ment of Lots, and the latter some valuable statistics. The Secretary's 
Report, also, appended, presents a favorable condition of our Finances. 

R. BUCHANAN, President.
